    Thanks everyone for all the replies. I'm glad to see that this isn't looking like it's gonna be as complicated as when I was trying to choose an oil for my wrx. Subaru oil specs for the fa20 seem to leave only a few suitable choices (or what everyone considers suitable). I'd like to stick with somthing I could just get local at Walmart or wherever. I know they sell royal purple and obviously a ton of others.

    I had 251,000 miles on my last Tacoma and changed the oil every 5,000.

    Never ever changed the oil drain plug gasket.

    Just snug it.

    Toyota filters work great, always used them every time.

    Plus your local Walmart sells excellent synthetic oils...every Walmart.

    First 2 years I'll let Toyota do the free changes. After that probably AMSOIL

    I put Amsoil signature in at 5000 miles. Didn't want to go to 10000 miles with the original oil due to break in of the engine.
