There is another recent thread here discussing engine ticking. Best results I've seen in my neighbor's 5th gen were with Toyota 0W-20 oil which has significantly more molybdenum anti-wear additive than other oils, zero ticking. In the case of my 4th gen which calls for 5W-30, the quietest are Quaker State Ultimate Durability and Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage.

There's also a large body of testimonial evidence on spiking gas with TC-W3 two cycle oil at 640:1 (1oz to 5 gallons of gas) as an upper cylinder lubricant. I've been doing this on my '07 4Runner for the past 30K miles with no ill effects, idles so smooth you can't tell it's running without looking at the tachometer. Injector tick is nonexistent.

Here's some light reading on the subject of TC-W3 mixing: Been testing Oil
