Hey guys it's time for me to do my first oil change on my 05 xls I bought in February. I plan on using a full synthetic oil anyone have a suggestion on what brand oil filter I should use?

Personally I feel the best oil filter to use is Toyota's. Go to your dealer and buy one or two. Also, Mobil 1 0W30 synthetic oil would be a good choice. I was in Walmart yesterday and Mobil 1 5-qt jugs are on sale for $21.00.

Toyota dealer carrys "TOYOTA OIL"
However, when I take my car there for oil change, they use Castrol Synthetic blend. 5K/5month
