yo goto walmart and buy the 5qt jug from there, cheapest place to get it... not sure about v8 but inline 6 takes about 5.5qts and i know the v8 takes less. to be on the safe side go ahead and buy 1 addition qt.
get toyota yzzd3 filter from the toyota dealer....just goto parts dept. and tell them u need a v8 filter.
just for some insight last time i did my oil change i did it right under 30bucks....
