oil and lube question

I have a question.. I am about to do my first oil change on my 06 tacoma. my question what type of oil should I get?? I have had all my other oil changes done at the dealer. also Shoud I lube all the joints on the truck when I change the oil?? also is a website that sells the toyota oil filter and oil plug gasket that is cheaper then the dealer??

 

people tend towards a synthetic mostly mobile 1. stock filters are great and they arent that bad from the dealer. every once in a while you find a 6 pack at a discounted price. do whatever you feel needs to be worked on while doing it, greasing things, tightening things and just doing a all around fluids check and inspection.

 

oh and to add i think there might be a check list type sheet that kind of gives you a list of guidelines of things to check and change at certain mileage markers which could also be helpful. take a look at it before you get down and dirty making sure you got more things than you need for your little maintenance day and return what items you did not end up using.

hope that helps
