No Toyota dealership uses "Toyota" oil. They use whatever bulk oil they can buy that's cheap. For example, where I work, we use Catrol GTX 5w-30.

Thanks everyone for your input. I think ill get the big jug of it because I will feel better knowing they used my oil and not the "mystery" oil.

What's wrong with Castrol GTX? It's all I've ever used in all my cars beginning with my 1979 Celica. In total, I've driven about 567,000 miles in 5 cars using GTX and never had an oil related problem with any of them...
