BUT, no matter how good Toyota oil may be, most owners would not consider using it because is dull and boring compared to synthetics that sound special and exciting like: "Royal Purple" "Mobil One" "Pennzoil Platinum" and which make sensational claims like "lasts 15,000 miles"
My understanding is that the Toyota buys it's motor oils from Mobil via a direct ship program from supplier to dealer.
