I bought a case of Toyota 0W-20 at North Park Toyota using their 15% Off parts coupon (
check out their website). Final price was around $7 something per quart. (I hear NAPA has the standard Mobil 1 on sale this month @ 5.89/qt.)
The Toyota 0W-20 is highly rated on
BobIsTheOilGuy website. From what I understand XOM (Exxon Mobil) makes it for Toyota's specs and it has a newer zinc, trinuclear moly formula thus reducing the molybdenum content to save costs. The new formula performs the same and may help keep the engine cleaner as some engines have problems with deposits caused by high molybdenum content oils.
Here is a BRZ oil analysis report showing the high molybdenum content of our factory oil...
ENEOS Sustina 0W-20 is suppose to be the best oil out there right now but, not easily obtainable or cost effective when shipped. It's the type of oil that you could run for 10,000 miles.
All of the 0W-20 oils will work but, the differences are in the additive packages and the quality of the synthetic base oils used.
The Mobil 1 Racing oils are suppose to be good because of their additive packages. 0W-20 is available but, expect to pay about $20 a quart.
My impression is the Toyota 0W-20 offers the best bang for the buck and is better quality than the regular Mobil 1 synthetic 0W-20 formula.
