Should have bought a case of them at that price...

I ordered my oil and filter a month before I needed it.Got my first oil change at 3k Km on the odometer at my local toyota today, they didn't have the Toyota branded oil even though I booked 2 weeks in advance. I felt like calling 2 days before hand but I figured they would be prepared. Oh well, they ended up needing to keep the car for about 3 hours while they tried to get the exact items listed for the filter and oil. They ended up getting authorization from Toyota Canada to order BMW branded oil and filter for B58 from their BMW lot in the same plaza. All in all I am going to be warranty certified with the BMW parts equivalent. Just a heads up for anyone else. (side note is I have 7 years Platinum warranty and 3 maintenance services included.)
Am I understanding your post correctly in that a Supra owner *cannot* just buy the Toyota specified oil #08880-wa011 themsleves from the parts counter? If Not, surely there is a standard oil viscosity and weight that the service manual recommends for the B58C and B58D engines that is compositionally equivalent.I called their parts department and confirmed they had the exact right oil (toyota 08880-wa011), and specifically that it was only for service use.
I used poor wording, the parts team said that /those 7 bottles/ were for service use only. I don't know for a fact, but I would assume you could still buy it from the parts dept.Am I understanding your post correctly in that a Supra owner *cannot* just buy the Toyota specified oil #08880-wa011 themsleves from the parts counter?
