Give the green light to the green oil.
Size: 5 Liter, Style: 1 Pack, Configuration: 0W-20
Great oil. I've used Liqui-Molly in all my vehicles and it always performs. Theres very little burn off between changes and I noticed cleaner, quieter engine. I've used this in many different car brands, it never disappoints.

Car Runs Smooth, Less Friction, and Improved Performance at Start Up and Underload.
Size: 5 Liter, Style: 1 Pack, Configuration: 0W-20
I kept hearing things about this oil from a few friends that work on cars and from my "go-to" mechanic. I was previously using Mobile 1 0w-20 on my 2024 4Runner and my wife's 2025 Outback Onyx, and this time around I decided to try it on both cars as they needed an oil change. So far I am happy with the change for both cars. This is good oil quality, smooth engine running, and noticeable oil lubrication at cold start. I am getting better MPGs mileage on both cars. Also noticeable engine is running with smoother. I had to lower my car window to check that my 4runner was on as it was quiet. I will update my review after a second oil change with this oil on both cars.

Near OEM quality at 1/4 cost
Near OEM performance at 25% of the cost! Bosch Quality replaced NGKs/Toyota OEMs. Great value and now the engine is running smoothly! I have seen a slight improvement in my mpg @1mpg overall in mixed driving conditions.

Very Expensive
Had one cylinder misfiring so replaced coil and spark plug. Runs fine now, but old plug looked shot after only 5 months so I think the coil was the problem. Really good plug so far but very expensive.
