None of us think alike, but if you want to keep it simple, and keep the Toyota service department happy, go with the AMSOIL 5W-30 XL, WIX, Hastings or Toyota filter, and stick to a 5K OCI...that way you're getting the viscosity listed on the cap and in the owner's manual, and since the XL series isn't *over-qualified* it has the API approval right on the label.

1st Toyota:

I have seen some of your comments on this board and have a high regard for you opinion. I would like to ask you what you do for oil changes. What oil do you use and what is your change interval and oil filter you use.

Thanks!
