If you had any questions as to what kind of oil and/or coolant is best for your Toyota, this might help.
Its from a Toyota Complete Maintenance Care booklet they gave to the Service Advisors at the dealerships...

i switched my 7afe from conventional to synthetic blend without any second thoughts, any leaks, or any abnormal burning what so ever. i've ran full syn in it during the winter as well as i found that on the most bitterly cold days it cranked over easier with mobil1 than it did with the penzoil that had been in it. never sprang any leaks, never had any problems. infact i seemed to burn LESS oil at startup after switching than i did before due to leaky valve seals! i'm running it with a purolator pureone filter which accrding to some tests and my personal experiences works very very well, at 3k miles my oil looks like i poured it out of the bottle. i've gone to a 4-6 month change interval since i dont put on alot of miles and for me changing more often would be changing at 2000 miles which is absurd for the kind of driving i do.
