When I reach the point that my 2015 ES350 needs its first oil change it will be done at the expense of Lexus (normal procedure). My ES350, like all others, requires full synthetic 0W-20 as I recall...can anybody tell me which oil company makes that weight of full synthetic Toyota motor oil? Thanks in advance.

Like joeb427 said, it's made by Mobil, but if you think you're going to get this oil when you take it to your Lexus dealer...you may be in for a surprise. Some don't use it/carry it. It's up to the dealer to decide which oil they use and it doesn't have to be TGMO. I've found most just will drop conventional oil in there and if you ask for synthetic, you'll be charged more for Mobil 1...and some use local distributor type of stuff.

If you do find a place that uses TGMO, it's expensive and it's supposedly very good stuff with a high moly count and incredibly low viscosity. Also keep in mind that some places may tell you they are using TGMO synthetic, but unless you see them pour it out of the bottles...I wouldn't believe them...not one bit.

I work for a Toyota dealership, the oil we put in cars is bought from a bulk supplier and dump into our container. I honestly don't trust it but never had any problems. As far as I know it could be a different oil such as 5w30. All 0w20 is synthetic and all other is synthetic blend here at Toyota. When I service my car at work I buy my own oil from Walmart for about $30 mobile1 and use a genuine toyota oil filter which I get from work. Since you won't be doing the maintenance yourself, you can always take your own oil to your dealer.
