I am a firm believer in synthetic after 5k or so mileage, not the first oil change! I prefer Mobil 1 regular synthetic but brand names is just another redundant debate. Pick an oil and stick with it. I always use the recommended weight/grade oil per car or engine. Whatever Toyota wants.
 I prefer OEM filters unless I have seen brand X's internal design. 5k change intervals? I just don't buy it. It is not going to hurt anything to change at 3k intervals, no excuses. I'll gladly pay for preventative maintenance where it counts. Oil is the blood of your engine.
