I just bought 6 quarts of 5w30 from the Toyota dealership today so that i can change my oil this weekend. I wanted to try OEM oil this time. Do any of you use it? If so, how well do you like it?

 

Its probably rebadged castrol or mobil, or some other major brand.

 

depending which dealership you go to. it looks like you might of went to kearny mesa. they use mobil and valvoline!!!!!!

 

Regular 5w-30 oil is okay.

 

sorry guy, not san diego, south dakota i went to toyota of the black hills in rapid city, you know, the city that is the ***** for the Sturgis bike rally every august.

 

I guess you can say I use Toyota Oil There are 4-5 rows deep of oil bottles and maybe 30-40 oil filters

The Toyota oil not going to make a difference in how your car drives. I only bought them because they were cheaper than any other oil out there. It's even cheaper than the 5quart jugs you get at walmart, except having 1qt bottle makes things a lot more convenient, especially when you just need to top off the oil level.


If you can get it cheaper than mobil/castrol/pennzoil, then go for it. If you can get the other 3 cheaper, then skip OEM.

 

omg, that is quite impressive! looks like u plan on keeping ur same GS for a looooooooooooooooooong time! BTW, it wasnt cheap to me today, $3.34/quart, is that an ok price?

 

I've seen mobil oil at walmart for $2.44 or so. Maybe you can check it out there instead? The Toyota oil isn't anything special and its not worth the extra cost, but the bottles do look nice I have 3 different oil weights on the shelf because I use them in my Hondas and Craftsman lawnmower also. LOL

I got mine for $1.99/bottle.

 

wow, just like my friend in AZ tells me, everything in bigger cities costs less than small cities, dont listen to the losers where u live.....time for me to move to CA or AZ soon i guess...

 

GSteg isn't showing us the whole picture. A wider shot would show his parts counter, lifts and the 10K sqft warehouse storing lots and lots of Toyota goodies. Of course the pretty gal at the pay window who will ask for cash or C-card.

I can almost match you on the oil filters.

You wouldn't happen to have the tan seat belts I'm looking for would you?

 

my german castrol was a hell of a lot more than $1.99/bottle

but oh well, i like mine more

 

Synthetic is sure expensive ain't it. Sadly I don't run Toyota oil in my GS. It only gets Amsoil synthetic since it has only seen synthetic all its life.

 

Where do you get German Castrol from?

 

Germany...

 

lol, read up.
