Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic SAE 0W-16 Motor Oil 5 QT, Case of 3

I bought these as they were cheaper than Costco brand. I always use the full synthetic 0W-16W in my Camry and these were the best value. I can get 3 complete oil changes with this case of 3. Valvoline is a good brand and I have no regrets buying this brand.

I went to the dealer a couple years ago and got the oil changed. A couple months later I was going over my maintenance receipts and noticed they put 0w20 oil into our Camry, which calls for 0w16! I was upset the dealer did not use the recomended oil for my car. I talked to the service manager and he said they could not get 0w16 oil and Toyota said they could use 0w20 and it would not affect the warrenty. At that point I looked online on Amazon and found this Valoline 0w16 oil in a 3 pack and began doing my own oil changes. From what I've heard, the dealer uses whatever inexpensive synthetic oil they can get as long as it meets the specifications by the auto manufacturer. So that would mean when you take your car in for an oil change you may not get Toyota oil anyway. If that's true I'm not sure but heard a former Toyota mechanic say that. As far as transmission fluid, I would ONLY use the reccomended fluid for that specific car. In my case, the transmission fluid will always be changed with original Toyota transmission fluid rated for that car. Bottom line, I am very happy with this Valvoline oil and will continue to use and change every 5000 miles. I fully expect this Camry to last at least 2 to 3 hundred thousand miles.

Good

Only motor oil I ever use. Been putting it in my cars for over 40 years and have had no engine related issues.

I have a 2023 Toyota RAV 4, works better than Mobil or pennzoil brand. Much smoother on the engine when press gas pedal. I can feel the difference.
