What 0w16 are you using in your newer toyota?

[TheRuley]

We got my wife a 2023 rav4 and it uses 0w16

So to anyone with one of these toyotas that take 0w16, what are you using in it?

The only spec i can find that the rav4 needs is ILSAC GF-6B, which from what i can tell MOST brand name FS motor oils almost universally all have this spec.

So is it a safe bet to just go with whatever 0w16 happens to be the best price when it is oil change time? Or is there one that clearly stands above the rest?

I can get pennzoil platinum, m1, and mag1 0w16 all locally for roughly the same money when there is a sale. I can also order liqui moly, idimitsu, and motul through work.

And no, i'm not going to use anything other than 0w16. Not interested in that debate i already read through some posts in the subject.

Any brand that carries the proper API license will be functionally the same as any other.

Use Mobil 1 or TGMO .

I sell the Toyota oil in my shop because it is the cheapest 0W16 I can buy and all of my 0W16 customers are still under factory warranty so there is absolutely no question that I put the correct oil in

Our new 2023 VENZA has two years(2 OCIs) of Toyota maintenance. I wonder what my dealer will REALLY use for the 2 free-bees? My bet is that they’ll use what ever they have in stock regardless what is recommended unless they have plenty of 0W16 in stock.

When I got my free OCIs from the dealer they listed the part numbers for quarts of Toyota 0w16 and the filter. Wound up costing "Toyota" $70 or so according to my receipt.

I used M1 0w16 from Wally World online in a beautiful RAV4 hybrid.

When I had the Venza Hybrid, switching to Castrol 0w-16 resulted in a quieter engine. YMMV

How much is the oil at the dealer?

And for a higher mileage engine with 240,000 miles, would this weight still be ideal? I mean the clearances have increased from new, so would 0W20 or even 0W30 be preferable?

That's good thought! I just can't see the big difference in 16 vs 20 weight oils to require a whole new additional oil to be on the shelf.

I use a 0w20 in my Toyota Camry that specs 0w16. No difference detectable in MPG. Get over 40 mpg with three adults running faster than interstate speeds over long distances.

We just bought a Grand Highlander and while ours (Hybrid Max) uses 0W-20, one of the engines uses 0W-8. I'm confident the dealer is putting 0W-16 or -20 in those.

Was using TGMO 0W-16 until dealer price hit $10 a litre. Now I look for Mobil 1 0W-16 on sale. Pay about $6 a litre

 

[ATex7239]

I cannot tell the difference between any of it.

Mobil 1 0W-16 for 22 corolla hybrid

 

[benjamming]

Castrol Edge 0W16 in a 2019 RAV4. Oil was bought on clearance at AutoZone for $4/qt. 52 quarts were bought then with still plenty to go at almost 90,000 miles now. Ran 12 quarts of TGMO 0W16 prior to that but those were a little over $5/qt. May have run an additional 2 oil changes prior to that as part of the included maintenance from Toyota.

 

[weaponoffreedom]

i would not use 0w16

 

[facility1]

check out Havoline pro-ds 0w-16 or 0w-20,,,,they also make a plant based (25%) type of engine oil pro rs in these grades and approvals.,
