API is just a standard; a series of tests for the oil to meet.
While it's always best to ask Herman what he meant; I would guess that he
meant that the Redline, Valvoline and Kendall oils were ones that he had
specifically gotten good reports with (or used himself); while the remainder
of the statement went something like "or any GL4 or GL5 oil will do". Since
the Toyota box is lightly loaded and known to be very reliable, it's likely
not picky about what oil you use.
