Toyota oil is pretty good, actually. Lots of moly and a good additive package for overall protection.
Pros: good additive package
Cons: not a cookable oil

I run Liqui Moly 2044 Touring High Tech Diesel 15W-40 Motor Oil - 5 Liter Jug in mine since I bought it at 136k. Now at 164k and it purrs.

Prior to switching to this I ran Mobil Delvac 15w40 Dino for 100 k miles. LOA is identical both oils. I have run Delvac in DEtroits, Cats, and Volvo’s.
Pros: identical oil analysis
Mileage: 100000 km
These days I do use T6 because I know the winters in south Texas aren't cold enough to worry about running anything lighter.
Pros: good for warmer winters
People like rotella because it’s a high zinc oil and subarus just like high zinc.
Pros: high zinc content

Subaru
