Depends on how much you drive and how often u want to change the oil. Synthetic can go longer and these days synthetic oil is just a little more than regular/blend at walmart.

I would recommend full synthetic I use it in every single vehicle I have and every single one has seriously high miles 450000 on my 4Runner and two hundred thousand on my Lexus. the oil in the Lexus doesn't even start to darken until after 5000 miles. I use mobil one but I suppose it doesn't matter it's not that expensive like $30 and it gives you peace of mind plus it doesn't break down the same and is cleaner inside the engine... the extra few dollars I feel is worth it....

I agree. I recently switched from conventional oil to synthetic on my 2002 ES300 with 115K and I’m happy with it. So far it’s been around 700 miles and the oil still looks crystal clear. I drive very little (4-5K a year) and synthetic works better for short trips.
