What brand oil does your dealer use?

[JPNNH]

Just had my first oil change...Dealer used Mobil oil (Nashua, NH Toyota) & I was dissapointed as I thought they were going to use factory Toyota brand oil. I think the mobil is cheap (not Mobil 1) but plain old gas station Mobil oil. I was wondering what type your dealer uses. Thanks in advance!
PS...I'm draining it out & going to Mobil 1 today!

Last time I was at Marietta Toyota they used Kendall oil and Castrol Syntec. I don't consider each oil the best for what it is. They go what is best for the dealer. For regular oil, Mobil should be fine, changing often is the best policy.

For synthetic oil I use Mobil 1, I think it is a good compromise on quality and price, for sythetic oil.
