Flip,according to the bobistheoilguy.com forum,Eneos( Nippon Oil) in NA is no longer the supplier of the Toyota Brand 0W-20.
Exxon-Mobil got the contract but the formulation is much the same, i.e., a 200 plus VI and boat load of moly..
Eneos was in the red container.Exxon/Mobil the now in a black container.

And apparently, it is best to buy manufacturers oils - Toyota and Honda, because they use more moly additives than off the shelf famous brands.
That defies common sense - It seems best oil you can buy on the market is 0W-20, Toyota and Honda brand.

Exxon-Mobil got the contract because they bid lower than Eneos did for the Toyota contract.
