    If you are a Costco member, watch their ads. Every June/July they run a $10 instant rebate on the 6-packs of 5w20 and 5w30.
    $25 puts the price down there almost with conventional.

    $88 for a box of 20 filters from Titus-Will Toyota and you're set for $30 for an oil change.

    Nathan at Dahl Toyota who has this ad is a good guy. If you contact him directly you can get better prices on anything you need. Oil filters, cabin filters, air filters. Not affiliated with him, just a customer.

    About 1 mpg added on average. And my engine tells me it's happier too. <g>

    Jealous bastard probably just wanted the Mobil 1 because the Corollas have it. <g>

    Rear leaf suspension. Home done tailgate re-inforcement.
    I use either M1 or Penzoil synthetic but the higher than most iron that Mobil 1 shows in analysis test bothers me a bit.

    Yes. There is a thread on here somewhere that shows the difference between all the different filters on the market and the Toyota OEM filter comes out on top.
