I recommend this. used it for my m550
holds up very well. the car likes it. the thinner OE spec oil kind of evaporated a bit after 4-5k miles but this one hasnt.
I have a block heater, and use high quality synthetic oil (Motul 8100 5W-30) .
Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.
For 2W Motul is best.
I don't think you will find anything but Selenia as "approved" but you will find plenty of "meeting specification". I know that meet the -GH2 spec and those are Motul (which I use), Fuchs and Ravenol. But long story short...match the specification designation from a good oil brand and you're golden
Always had good results with motul
We're big Motul guys around here!
My N54 hated any variant of Mobil1 sad to say. When I had American vehicles they all seemed to love it however. Currently running Motul 300V on a FBO, occasional E85 mixed N54 and wish I used it from day one.
If you are using ToyotaCare, they will push 10k/1yr oil change interval. If you willing to pay for every oil change, they don't care.
Buddy and me have found that the Motul 7100 isnt that great in them (additives appear to fail about 1500 miles as seen with very increased mis-shifts).
