What kind of oil does Toyota use?

[mickey513]

A Toyota dealership near my house is having a oil change special for $10. What kind of oil do they use, the Toyota brand or is a major commerical brand, such as Castrol or.......?

Actually they use 76 Unocal.... at least the dealer I go to...(not for oil changes) It may vary from dealer to dealer...

My dealer uses Castrol GTX. But, they put Castrol Syntec in my car :D

Ugg. Mine uses CitGo. :(

I bring my own oil in when they do oil changes and let them pro-rate the bill.

Anyone of you guys had the toyota dealer lose any of those little plastic pieces that holds the plastic thing below the drain plug and oil filter area?

My dealer uses Castrol too. Gets oil changes every 3,000 no charge.

Got my oil changed today, $13.20 including everything, tax, oil disposal, etc., The oil change was only $9.99, dam oil disposal was $2.80! I usually change oil myself but the filter OEM toyota filter alone is $4, and 5qts of oil is $7.50 already.


They use 4qts of Castrol GTX 10w-30, I would of prefer 5w-30 much more but they said 10w-30 is what they use on all Toyotas because it offers "better protection" my ass it does:mad:

Oh well, not a bad price though, but I'm pretty sure with the 10w-30, I'll notice a small decrease in gas mileage:pissed
