I use the Pannziol Synthetic, switched from regular oil at 35,000 miles. Car runs great and I have noticed a slight bump in mileage 1 or 2 MPG Highway. I'd love to switch to full synthetic for Transmission fluid as well, so that might be next.

I switched to royal purple 5w20 at my 2nd oil change, and went to their 90wt transmission fluid at the 3rd change - haven't looked back. my tc exhibited significant improvement in shifting with the trans fluid change.

to the OP
just change it regularly
Mobile 1 and Royal Purple are both very good
If your on a budget regular dino jucie will be fine.
If you race it or idle alot you should look into a better oil but for everyday I really belive regular oil is fine

Just use the OEM YZZF1 Toyota filter - get them cheaply at TRDsparks.com.
No other filter has proven to work better, so save your money.
If you race, or have a forced-induction tC, it might help to use the TRD sa it flows better, but it doesn't filter better.
Or, if you race.

M1 is a fine oil - I used it for years, but there's better now.

mine is an 07, and its' manual says 0w20 normal, 5w20 cold. mind you I am running royal purple 5w20 simply because they dont yet make a 0w20 - although they do have a 0w10 equivalent in the racing line.
