    Both are Toyota synthetic 0W-20 one quart bottles. Don't know why the different part numbers...

    EDIT: Just a guess, but they might have changed the part numbers when they changed manufacturers from Nippon to Mobil.

    The receipt from my "free" oil change shows "FP number" of 279-0W201-01, description of 0W20 BULK OIL-W, and "QTY" of 5 (even though they didn't overfill it). When I asked the service writer what oil they used, she said it was "0W-20 synthetic made for Toyota by Mobil1."
