Toyota Genuine Motor Oil is nothing more than rebadged Exxon Superflow.  You 
can check the MSDS sheets - it says it is manufactured by Exxon and when you 
compare the two specs, the Exxon and the TGMO are EXACTLY the same, right down 
to very last detail.  I believe either GM Goodwrench or Motorcraft is actually 
just Havoline.  I'll have to check. 

As a side note, many new Mercedes Benz engines are recommending the use of 
0w40 full synthetic under all driving conditions.
