Best Motor Oil for your Toyota, and coolant too Options

[hurley97]

If you had any questions as to what kind of oil and/or coolant is best for your Toyota, this might help.
Its from a Toyota Complete Maintenance Care booklet they gave to the Service Advisors at the dealerships...

6 out of 10 [Toyota] vehicles come with Exxon Mobil as "factory fill"

a lot of car manufactures are recommending mobil one these days. new evos, and even some porsches have "mobil one only" right on their oil cap. part of me thinks this is great, while another part of me wonders how much of that is a marketing idea. i mean, while its a great product, mobil had to have paid toyota some money for them to say that.

my current theory on motor oils is this:
if you have a motor, thats in good shape, help keep it that way with a synthetic like mobil one.

if your motor has a lot of miles and has a been on cheap oil all its life, then the damage is probably already done and there is not a whole lot you can do.

over all, the most important thing to do is to change your oil right at 2-3000 miles, regardless of the brand.
