Why Is This Oil Labelled Full Synthetic. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:56am On Aug 22, 2017 |
Why is this brand of oil labelled full synthetic, and the other not labelled as such.

GAZZUZZ:it is usually stated in the label if it is synthetic it will be clearly stated on the label of the oil if there is no mention of synthetic on the label then it is a mineral oil lubricant gotten from crude oil |

Let's not get carried away by labels. Let's focus on performance. One this Toyota Oil is at par with Mobil-1 in the performance. Any Toyota owner here can testify about the peculiar coolness it brings to their engines. Use the mobil-1 in your Toyota and notice the very high and uncomfortable rev it initially produces. This occurs everytime you start the car. Use the Toyota Oil, the car engine becomes silent. No initial high rev at startup. Very distinct from the mobil-1. There is something special about the Toyota Oil. I'm pretty sure that's why the contents and nature are not publicly displayed Another pointer is the pricing. This thing is priced at between 3 - 3,500 per Litre and 4,500 per Litre for the 0w20. That is clearly not mineral oil pricing |

awiriwa: why did toyota labell this www.nairaland.com/attachments/5851925_img20170817144924_jpegb4fd8a2f68949da5d13806dbd1634242 synthetic? |

GAZZUZZ: Great Question.... Unfortunately you're posting it on the wrong forum . If you don't have any sinister motive, then send the question(s) to or via: https://www.toyota.com/support/contact-us I am sure all your questions about Toyota and the oils can be provided there |
Re: Why Is This Oil Labelled Full Synthetic. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:23pm On Aug 22, 2017 |
awiriwa: why is this cheaper than the toyota oil branded synthetic? |
Re: Why Is This Oil Labelled Full Synthetic. by awiriwa: 12:41pm On Aug 22, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ: Let me try....as newer models are developed, Toyota/Lexus finds innovative way to redesign engines with a lot more tolerance for performance and fuel economy. The oils that power such engines are also subject to slight or extensive modifications from the previously available ones. Notice that 0w20 spec is used almost exclusively by the very latest models. There is a correlation between greater fuel efficiency and cost of the oil. Better still, go ask Toyota You are a very sharp dude, I am convinced this information is known to you. The question is, why pose such questions that you already know the answer to? 4 Likes |

Re: Why Is This Oil Labelled Full Synthetic. by awiriwa: 1:07pm On Aug 22, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ: What is possible here is you trying to downgrade and pigeon hole the Toyota Motor Oil, so I guess you can sell the stock of Mobil-1 and the not so great Castrol Oil that you have . Don't forget Mobil-1 makes the Toyota Oil too. They are very good oils Pose your questions to Toyota or make a categorical statement 3 Likes |

Re: Why Is This Oil Labelled Full Synthetic. by autotrader2: 1:37pm On Aug 22, 2017 |
mayor2013: Hmmm. The makers of Toyota Motor Oil have never said the oil is mineral oil so why should I have more information than them. Users including me, have used the Oil in our cars for way more than 5,000 miles before oil changes. This oil is a premium brand and I believe you all know and agree Toyota is a wonderful and dependable brand. When they explicitly say use this oil in our engines, you know damn right they know what they're saying. This a an online platform, don't misinform or mislead the users here. If there is anything wrong about the oil, give us facts and examples. Don't try to categorize or say stuff you have no data to back up. 3 Likes |

If it's not labelled synthetic then it's not synthetic. My opinion though. 4 Likes |

The engineers at Toyota know the difference but are not ready to state it on the respective labels for reasons best known to them (trade secret). 3 Likes |

autotrader2: the opening statement asks why the label is different on two separate cans...if u knw, tell us instead,u are talking about misinformation and misleading point out the misinformation in what has been written and where he has categorically said something is wrong so that u asking for facts can be justified the only thing i see wrong here is that similar cans have different labels denoting different sorts of oil which fact dyu need again when its boldly pictured herein 7 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: I'm tempted to believe you, but really struggling with that. I remember you have made this same argument in the past, but then the reason was you stopped selling it because Toyota did not explicitly "say what is in the oil" ! Now the story has changed to "performance issues" . Which story should we run with? Fact is this, there are no performance issues with the Genuine Toyota Motor Oil. Infact, users experience improved engine performance when they use it. That is the incontrovertible fact 1 Like |
