Going with the proper viscosity oil, 5W20 or 0W20, is more important than which brand of oil......and welcome to the fun.

Full Synthetic

Also following recommended routine maintenance is more important than brand or oil weight.

...........but 'yota does specify/recommend oil weight, not oil brand.

Any big name brand will do the job. I use Castrol GTX and Canadian Tire - Formula One Synthetic oil.

this is what i use

i bought the 10 pack of filters on ebay for 42 shipped which is pretty good.

i already had 2 oil changes. i used the mobil 1 0W20.

just had an oil change. the service manager was adamant that this is what 2009 corolls come with from the factory. it is Mobil Clean 7500 semi synthetic blend. i agree that oil changes every 5k and your car will probably last longer than you want to keep it, regardless if its conventional oil or synthetic.

Personally, i prefer Valvoline over Castrol and Pennzoil. Mobil1 would be my next choice. Must be the fancy packaging
