your toyota oil test indicates a load of moly and mag .. mobil 1 only has less then 100PPM ..
Toyota oil probably will cause the engine to be quieter because of the mag and moly additives .

You're absolutely right. Mobil 1 may be great for some engines but there is a reason Toyota uses so much moly and mag in their oil and there is a reason the 4.0 runs so much quieter when using that oil. It's about the same price as the M1 and a little less convenient since I have to get it from the dealer but it's what both my vehicles will run on for as long as I own them. Or maybe until someone else makes an oil with as much moly and mag? Very possible it's out there, never know.
