Where do you guys buy the oil filter?

 

use CL5 for a 10% discount.

 

says 450h assuming same for es350
update: it is

 

Every time someone ask this on the Bob's the Oil Guy oil forum about what oil? The answer is whatever is the best deal for a name brand full synthetic oil on sale at Wal-Mart.

I use Pennzoil. I like what I see in post all over the internet about how it cleans. I've seen many pro and cons about Mobile 1. It was my go to oil years ago when it was about the only game in town in the way of synthetic oil and I had mostly turbo cars. .

 

Any synthetic in the correct weight is good synthetic. Dexos are specs from GM that the oil meets. Mobil PP, QS are good brands. heck if you want you probably could get away with supertech synthetic (walmart brand) bottled by cittgo.

 

If I recall correctly Dexos was made for GDI motors due to detonation issues with them.

 

I do find it funny that Bob is the Oil Guy is a whole forum dedicated to oil, yet they all say "buy whatever is on sale" well...whats the point of the damn website then? LOL.

Any of these oils are good. Mobil 1 is a great oil, Pennzoil Platinum is a great oil. Personally, I have decided to run Toyota Genuine Motor Oil (TGMO) 0W20 which is manufactured by Mobil for Toyota using a proprietary composition dictated to Mobil by Toyota. I buy it from a local Toyota dealer in 6 quart cases for about $45 (My LS460 takes 9.5 quarts of oil).

Lexus dealers MAY use TGMO, but not all do unless you ask. If you ask they should use it and not charge you more. Idemitsu makes a similar oil that my independent mechanic uses.

Oil filters, I run Amsoil Ea Filters. Toyota also sells this same filter under their TRD Pro line. They're expensive, but IMHO the filter makes a bigger difference than the oil. The OEM Toyota filter is a crappy paper filter that isn't very efficient.

Oil (this is a good deal for it):

I can't say if Pennzoil is 'as good" as Mobil 1, but I feel sure you would be absolutely fine using it. Just make sure you're using a full synthetic. I've just used Mobil 1 for soooo long, I'm confident in using it... I think I've posted this before but I'll post this again just to put it out there. A service writer at the Lexus Dealership I use told me once that the oil they use is made by Mobil 1. Well I'm skeptical by nature so I actually called Mobil 1 and asked them if they made oil specifically for Lexus / Toyota. He did acknowledge they did make oil for them, but when I questioned him on the quality of that oil he said " the mobil 1 oil you can buy at wal mart or in auto parts stores is the best oil they make. So while he didn't say the oil they make for lexus / toyota was of less quality, he did say you could get mobil 1's best oil at places like wal mart. Perhaps he was trying to tell me something without actually having to say it. Good enough for me...

 

thanks ended up buying mobil 1 advanced fuel economy (green one above) is that just as good?

 

Piggy backing on your comment my local Lexus Service manager told me if you come in and buy synthetic oil from us it is Toyota made by Mobil. He also stated in oil changes they use drums and that oil is a synthetic and mentioned the brand which I can not remember. Had heard of it but was not a major player like Pennzoil, Mobil, Castrol, Valvoline etc. This is why I always bring my Mobil 1 with me for the oil change besides saving me $$$$.

 

I think that would suffice; it is fully synthetic and same recommended grade

 

Agreed. I think as long as you use a name-brand full synthetic and change it regularly ;your engine should last a long time. I usually end up with Mobil 1 as it seems to be on sale at the local Walmart more frequently than the others butr I have also used Pennzoil, Castrol and Valvoline at times. I will sometimes get the 6-qt case of Mobil 1 at Sam's Club when they have it on sale for $27 plus rebate. All of my cars (2017 ES, 2009 Honda Odyssey, 2007 Roush Stage 3 Mustang) follow this purchase principle with the only exception being the 2013 Harley Road King in which I use Amsoil 20/50.

 

At the end of the day if you look at oil analyses and such the oils are very similar, TGMO has a more robust additive package though and the initial viscosity is a little thinner. IMHO, Toyota had Mobil make changes to their additive package for a reason...which is why I like to use the TGMO.

 

I've been using Amsoil and Amsoil Oil filters for over 25 years in everything that has an engine. Best stuff I've ever used.
