Have they started labelling it sƴnteticọ̀

awiriwa:
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

why did toyota labell this www.nairaland.com/attachments/5851925_img20170817144924_jpegb4fd8a2f68949da5d13806dbd1634242

synthetic?

awiriwa:


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

why is this cheaper than the toyota oil branded synthetic?

GAZZUZZ:


why is this cheaper than the toyota oil branded synthetic?

awiriwa:


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?

so its possible this is not synthetic. and is mineral oil but built to toyota specifications.

GAZZUZZ:

awiriwa:


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

why so defensive? do you sell toyota oils?

we are trying to learn here. and you are the only one responding.

next question. If this oil is mineral, is it safe to run 5000 miles? (7500km)

Chief Gazzuz, hope you don't mind me replying this

When you were selling the same Toyota Oil, was it safe then to run it for 5,000miles (7,500km)?

SmartchoicesNG:
I don't know. But this one is full synthetic and affordable

autotrader2:


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

GAZZUZZ:


this is cartalk, and we are discussing this particular motor oil. this thread is not about the oils I sell or oils you sell, its about the product.

Meanwhile I only stopped selling this product after I realised performance issues.

autotrader2:


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
