Probably not. The Honda oil is a conventional/synthetic blend, and used oil analysis shows it is not a very good lubricant (breaks down in about 5000 miles). The Toyota oil is very similar to Mobil 1 (though not identical).

If that is correct then i stand corrected. Tried to get Mobil1 last service but no luck.

I can't speak to the similarities of Honda Green 0w20 and Toyota 0w20. But, there are multiple Honda 0w20 oils:

Full Synthetic:

Synthetic Blend:


The even lighter, phantom Honda Green Oil
Honda introduces an Ultra Green Motor Oil - CleanMPG Forums

Of course, I'm wondering if the Ultra Green Honda oil isn't actually the 0w16 that will be actually coming out this year.

Honda Ultimate Synthetic 0W20 the last time I did a change. Cheapest full synthetic I could find a year and a half ago for $5.75/qt.

I use Mobil 1 0w-20 synthetic oil. I bought whole bunch of this stuff in quart bottles for $5.00 each last Black Friday at Pep Boys.
