For years corporate Toyota has advised owners against using synthetic oil until after the first oil change. Therefore it makes no sense that Toyota would use a full synthetic as the factory fill in the 2007 Tundra 5.7 engine |
Go to that link, scroll to automotive lubricants, gasoline engine oil. You see one named there.
You can also look at the consumer products here...

I think the Japanese site is not listing a lot of products we make. Probably due to the constant change and the fact that we don't make the 0W-20 provided to Toyota available for sale to others. It probably is a formulation licensed to Toyota and thus only they have the rights to it.
This is pretty common. For example, the new GTR coming from Nissan uses exclusively a gear oil our company created for them. But it is only sold to Nissan and no one else, so you will not find that product in our product section.
I believe previously manufacturers did not recommend breaking in new vehicles with full synthetic oil due to how smooth it is that it will not property break in the motor. The 0W-20 provided to Toyota at factory fill and genuine oil level is a special formula created for Toyota, so it will allow proper break in.
