He will probably be using a known brand of non synthetic oil that is pumped out of 50 gallon drum,probably a Castrol product.
You could ask him to put in Synthetic,in which case he will use a known brand from quart containers probably Mobil1
He will probably be using a 5w-20 or 30 weight oil.

...uh, how 'bout Toyota oil, at the Toyota dealership?
Salesman said it sure wouldn't be that, probably figure on it being Pennzoil.
No thanks and no wonder it's free.
