Toyota OEM 0W-20 synthetic for the 5.7L?

posted this in an old oil thread initially, but figured I'd just start a new one as I've searched and haven't found anything answering my question...

Can someone please answer my concern, does the oil in the attached picture meet the requirements of the 2020 Tundra 5.7L engine? Is it fully synthetic?

I know it calls for the ILSAC GF-5 Multigrade oil requirement, which isn't on the back label of the oil seen below, however it is API SN Plus (so does that also entail GF-5 certified?)....


...go or no go, for Tundra use ?

 

Looks wrong. Better let me dispose of it for you.

 

What's your address, bank account number, and full name, this way I can verify your identity and I'll send it your way

 

I’m pretty sure your ok, I’m still stuck on my old ways with 10w-40. Lol

 

So if I'm not mistaken, this is the OEM Tundra 5.7L initial oil that they use from the factory? Am I correct in thinking this? if not, does anyone know how this is any different? Thanks guys & gals.

 

Unknown to me, I've stuck different weights and brands in this motor..This forum will be the first to know if the motor breaks. I'm serious.

 

I also found this on the API.org website.....sorry for the in depth nerd level of questions and information, this stuff really interests me, especially since I also have an E92 M3 in the garage with the S65B40 motor which has tight tolerances on the engine rod bearings, causing me to have to research this oil viscosity, weight, manufacturers, etc very extensively.

from the website above, see the last paragraph, that has me thinking that this is the correct OEM oil and that it is also ILSAC GF-5 equivalent since its has an API SN PLUS designation.

 

Yeah, I don't think this motor is very picky, however I'd like to know for my own knowledge for any future use, otherwise I'll just stick M1 0W-20 in it.

 

I have an E90 M3. From a fellow S65 owner, TGMO is just fine for your truck. Some even say it’s the best choice.

 

Any oil with SN Spec will do the job. Just pick the proper viscosity. Personally I don’t care for the light 0/20. I prefer a 5/30 or 10/30 weight.

 

Hell yeah!!! And you have a 1794 edition Tundra!?!?! Did we just become best friends!?!?!

 

Thanks Hoff, that's what I'm just trying to get some more confidence in what you're saying here, I've done my research, but it helps hearing it from other fellow enthusiasts and Tundra owners like yourself (if its true of course haha).

Just wanting to get verification that this Toyota 0W-20 Synthetic oil fits the bill.

 

I've used 0w-20 for the last 5 years, with no issues... 221k 2nd gen. 5.7

 

Agreed, I think running the 0W-20 is just fine, my main concern that I was trying to answer with this thread, was if the oil I have pictured is the correct oil prescribed for our engine, I just want to make sure it covers all the requirements that Toyota Engineers deemed necessary for the engine, I know they require the oil to be ILSAC GF-5, however it doesn't have that on the back label, just says API SN PLUS, and I want to get a confirmation from the oil wizards and fellow Tundra owners if this oil will suffice for our engines?

 

I might be getting wayyyyyy to into this, but learning a lot, I found this on The Petroleum Quality Institute of America's website:

 

So from this I'm deeming that even though it's not labeled as GF-5 on the bottle, since it's a API SN PLUS oil, that it meets the requirements of ILSAC GF-5 standards?

 

Don't think about this too much, put the oil in it. Switching brands and even weights a little bit will not lead to negative consequences.

 

UPDATE:

I figured I'd update this thread as it might help other overly concerned, paranoid, or just oil nerds (like myself) answer any questions.

I purchased my Tundra brand new and wanted to get the break-in (I know there is no 'break-in' period per se) oil out of the engine and give it some fresh fluid, makes me sleep better at night knowing its running fresh oil for the next 9k miles instead of the 'dirty' break-in oil.

Now Since I still wasn't confident in the oil I had put in the truck (see picture above of oil used), I took one of the bottles into a Toyota dealer here, and I asked for the 0W-20 Toyota oil for my 2020 Tundra, and they walked out with the same bottle, but with a different label. Turns out that the labels have changed and that the label shown in the original post is the updated bottle, there's also a green labeled bottle that has a piston on it and reads synthetic on the bottom (see below).

Point of the story is that the above oil is the same as the below oil, just an updated bottle, this oil meets all of the Toyota requirements, and is what they would sell anyone looking for the OEM 0W-20 TGMO for their Tundra.

Finally, the part numbers are also the same, both are: 00279-0WQTE-6s (and the -6s portion indicates its sold individually, if it read -01 just means its a different amount and not a quart bottle, is what I was told).

 

I run Mobil1 fully synthetic 0w-20

 

DAMMMNIIITTTTT, now I need to start my research all over again

 

Whenever I hit 10k miles on this oil I'll send it in an oil analysis, I'm excited to see the results, truck has 187k on it! I'm at around 1800 miles right now on this oil, but I just changed it 16 days ago today. I'll post results here when I send it in. I'll also send a virgin oil sample too to compare

 

Right on, I always send my oil samples to Blackstone for an oil analysis too

 

00279-0WQTE-6S; Is the part number for a case of 6 quarts
00279-0WQTE-01; Is the part number for 1 quart

 

Gotcha, that makes sense, thanks jrd

 

A little off the topic but I watched a video comparing Amsoil to Royal Purple. Amsoil clearly won in all the tests but RP did well also. Doing my next change myself and think I’ll go with Amsoil.

 

Changed Oil every 3000 miles or 6,000? or just let the Vehicle Computer tell u when its ready? 2014 SR5 and i use 0w-20 full synthetic just wondering.

 

Amsoil is a pyramid scheme, its good oil but over priced and requires a membership to buy, RP is oil dyed purple. Mobile, Shell, Castrol all make great oils much cheaper but do what makes you happy

Service interval is 10,000 miles, doing it sooner wont hurt though. Also there is no oil life meter on the Tundra to tell you when to change your oil.

 

I'm not going to be thinking about it again for at least 7500 miles, I want to get a good service interval out of this oil, oil filter, and I'm curious to see what the Dimple drain plug magnet picks up (if anything).

 

We have an auto supply that sells Amsoil but like you say it is expensive. Probably not worth the cost so I might just stick with Mobile.

 

Did anyone read the fine print on the back of that Toyota Genuine Motor Oil bottle?

If I'm not mistaken "Importado y Distribuido por: ExxonMobil Mexico, S.A..." says "Imported and Distributed for: ExxonMobil of Mexico...", and, later "Hecho en los Estados Unidos de America" (Made in the United States of America)? Hint: TGMO ain't special oil coming from Japan.

I suspect that TGMO is coming to you directly from ExxonMobil's Beaumont, Texas refinery. (They are too smart to be shipping it to Mexico, and then shipping it back to Toyota distribution centers.) I believe factory fill is the same stuff, but with an additive package tweak. For all future changes, my opinion is Mobil 1 is the same as TGMO, just cheaper.
