Alot of us run Mobil 1 synthetic. I previously used a K&N oil filter but made the switch to a Mobil 1 filter.

It is pretty amazing - I tried a couple of searches on oil, which oil, etc. Search engine comes up with nothing.
There is a whole Maintenance Forum that includes the oil topic. Can't imagine how the search comes up empty.

You all should be using TOYOTA filters from the dealer. As for the oil, Castrol GTX.
