I was using mobil 1 0W-20 advanced fuel economy and not very pleased. I was going to switch to Mobil 1 0W-20 extended performance but my Toyota dealer was able to sell me OEM Toyota synthetic 0W-20 for $5.49 per quart so I went that route. I believe some of the new synthetic oil formulations like Penzoil Platinum are made from natural gas.

It’s a Bluetooth device and also works as a scan tool for checking and clearing codes. Connect to your phone for on the go monitoring.

WInter is coming so dont mistake cooler oil temp averages as "better" oil

I felt the Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy did not keep the engine smooth. The extended performance may be better. I also noticed the oil was very black at the change interval compared to the OEM toyota. Again this may just be the Advanced Fuel Economy formulation and may be better on the Extended Performance which I was going to try next. May also need to take into consideration the heat in South Florida.

makes sense.. it's Mobil 1's thinnest oil. Try Toyota's synthetic if you want smooth. I've used extended performance and couldnt feel or tell a difference between Extended and Advance Fuel economy.

The SM formula was over 600, the SN is around 100.

Does anyone know of any other brand oil on the market that has a Moly content as aggressive as Toyota oil? Just bought 12 quarts at $100 which is way more than any other oil on the shelf at my local parts store but I pay it because I feel I'm getting a better product. If there is an alternative, I am all ears.

I believe the QSUD is the highest widely available High Moly oil.

Found the data sheet on that oil. 181 PPM so still falls very short of Toyota oil. Definitely a better option that M1 though

over the counter at the parts store? no way. the highest i see from used oil analysis are in the 150ppm range. Rotella Gas Truck and Quaker State Ultra Durable come to mind.
as far as boutique oils, some Amsoil Series, Schaeffers and Redline Oils will come in with a real strong dose at like 350 or more, Red Line Professional Series 0W20 in particular sees over 450+ in analysis. but you're paying 3x the price for that over mainstream, sale-driven oil brands.
IMO, buy whatever synthetic brand of your preference is on sale, and if you just have to have that moly boost, grab a bottle of LiquiMoly MOS2 additive. it shouldn't hurt anything and may increase fuel mileage slightly.

Here’s the PQIA test results for sometime in 2018 and it lists the Toyota Moly content as 787ppm. API Service SN.
Have you found more recent test data?

I looked on ebay for the closest toyota dealer that was selling at discount for a case. Called up the internet parts department and purchased with store pickup since I was going there anyway for my oil filters and there was no delivery fee. So it was $33 for a case of six quarts.
