Theres been threds on this topic b4. Ill fill you in though.

To each their own. A lot of people say Mobil 1 (like myself), others say Valvoline, others would say Penzoil, maybe some will say Castrol. Honestly..."Greddy oil" isnt much diffrent from the ones I listed. Synthetic oil is a must if you are gonna drive a lot and push your engine a little. But theres not much of a diffrence when you compare. Its like Advil and Excedrin, they both have the same stuff and do the same...one just "looks" better.
Like I said.....to each their own!! ^_^

Um, read the stickies at the top of the maintenance forum.
More info than you could ask for on oils, and you don't need to get new answers - it's already here for you.

Yep, Mobil 1 and Toyota filters every 5K. Good to go for 300K or better.
