Toyota - Pennzoil

I always use "Toyota" 0w-20 oil however I just did an oil change and used Penzzoil Platinum Full Synthetic because of the rebates and the engine seems to run quieter, the ticking noise is hardly there.

i've been using TGMO more or less since new. gave Mobil 1 one shot but the motor was appreciably, and disturbingly, noisier. despite the hype, Mobil 1 is generally not considered to be a quality product any longer. i'm planning to give the Pennzoil a try my next OCI as i've heard good things.

Anyone else notice that these engines are louder with anything other than Toyota oil? They're noisy no matter what but with Valvoline 0-20 and Mobil 1 0-20 they are even louder. I will be switching back to Toyota oil at my next oil change. Whoever makes it, makes it to Toyota spec and there does seem to be a difference. BTW I use nothing but OEM filters so the filter has nothing to do with it in this case.

It wouldn't surprise me if Toyota brand oil is made by Idemitsu. I think they make oil for Honda and Subaru.

I ran mobil1 for a while, then got some penzoil high mileage on sale. Engine was noticeably more quiet on the pennzoil. I then switched back to mobil1 and have been running it for last few OCI. I'm tempted to try the pennzoil again or the toyota oil again to see if i notice a difference after being used to running mobil1 for a while.

Well one would hope. That engine is barely even broken in. Report back when you have 10x that many miles.

Seriosly..its a Toyota. Use either an change it regularly and it'll go forever. The 3.slow in my 2nd gen has 330k miles on it trouble free aside from warrantied head gaskets at 40k miles.

On my last oil change I used Mobil1 0-20 vs my normal Amsoil. I have noticed the tick since switching. I have 64K on Runner now. I am switching back to Amsoil @ 65K. Not pitching Amsoil just my .02 worth.

Just to be different, I run Kendall GT-1 0w-20 and have since the begining (80+ k miles now). Petroleum Services company delivers 12 quarts to my door for about $65. Not the cheapest, but not outrageous either.

By a chemical content standpoint, Toyota oil has a slight increase in Phosphorus and Zinc which are wear additives over the moly used in Mo1 for wear. While it ''cushions'' and quiets it is a little harder on plugs and cats when the ring wear allows more oil burnoff.

Walmart is selling 0W-20. I'd bet a buck it's as good as most any other.

I wouldn't run that super tech crap in anything but a lawnmower if even that. I agree that most oils will do the job just fine and the most important thing is changing oil when it's due and most people without a doubt way overthink their oil choice but at least stick with a mainstream brand.

It is likely a Warren Product, and a quality base stock. The lack of a better Add Package is why I wouldn't run it.......especially if you go over 7500 between changes!
