    5k miles is the recommended interval. The Toyota filter is better than most aftermarket filters and inexpensive. Use whatever 5W30 or 0W30 oil on sale in your area; oil brand doesn't really matter in these trucks and there are as many preferences as assholes (or however that saying goes): https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/what-oil-is-everyone-using.650430/ Avoid 0W20 however.

    Mudflaps yo!
    The 4.0 is not picky at all about oil choice. You can run just about any 5w30 synthetic or conventional, I typically run whatever synthetic is on sale. The OEM Toyota filter is also not some magical special filter everybody here makes it out to be. I've ran Denso, Fram (XG line) and currently using Hastings LF589 filters. Any name brand filter will suit you well.
