my toyota dealer says that mobil 1 is the oil used for oil changes.
But i doubt they nor factory care what they put in a car as long as it gets
a car through the warranty period then the dealer hopes to service service
service.

I had same dilema a couple years ago, go synthetic or stay dino and what
particular brand ?
Also, what oil filter to use ?

i eventually convinced myself through web research to go synthetic/dino
blend (1qt mobil 1 + 3 qt mobil 5000) and a 'mobil 1' or 'puralator pure
one' filter. Note: there were not any mass marketed synthetic blends
several years ago and now all the oilers seem to have a synthetic blend. So
maybe a pre-packaged synthetic blend like "Mobil clean 7500" will give you
cheaper peace of mind.

Some will claim blend is waste of synthetic, then some claim all synthetic
waste of money and maybe even bad idea, lots of unsuopported opinions around
below are sample of soe=me links i have used to convince myself there are
others links but htese cover most.

Seems that Amsoil and Mobil are leaders of the pack with synthetics starting
in 70's. according to this comparison write up (amsoil site)

Several venders, including Toyota, had a sluge problem with several motors
because the heads stayed too cool. To avoid this sluge buildup Toyota
recommends a switch to Mobit 1 5W-30. The Amsol information on its web site
is not credible, but it is a satisfactory product dispite that fact.

There is no problem if you switch to a full synthetic at this time. Avoid
semi-synthetic products, they offer little benefit over any quality standard
oil.

I've been using synthetic blend in my 98 Camry CE for the last 50K mi
or so (out of 120K total) - no problems at all - in fact my gas mileage
went up a bit. Some will probably claim there shouldn't be a mileage
difference, but the difference is there and consistent. Haven't tried
full-synthetic.

I started using Mobil 1 5W-30 on my 1998 camry CE with 4-cyl engine at
100K Kms. I have driven 50K Kms since and have no problems to report.
Use Mobil 1 since this product is certified by Toyota and has no effect
on warranty.

I'm another 5w-30 Mobil one convert... I wouldn't use anything else.
Also... unless you do a ton of stop and go... follow the owners manual
and change every 7500.

I use a toyota filter when I can get them on sale...my second choice is
Wix... Fram is bottom of the barrel.
