I was too stupid to actually bother reading the receipts until this week when I went to pick it up and it wasn't ready because they were washing it.

Amazon sells 12 qts of Toyota 5W-20 for $72.50 which is described as follows "... Get Outstanding Performance with Genuine Toyota 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil ..."
Scroll down and read the product description here:
Amazon.com: Toyota Genuine SAE 5W-20 946 ML Motor OIl 1 QUART (PACK OF 12): Automotive The description says this is synthetic oil.
Call Toyota corporate and ask if Toyota 5W-20 is synthetic, a blend or conventional. Then ask the dealer if 5W-20 is conventional, blend or synthetic. If both say it's synthetic, then all is good.
There's very little conventional oil left at the retail level. I recently bought 5 qts of Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic Motor Oil for $24.37 ... Mobil claims it's a 20,000 mile oil, but I will not use it for more than 10,000 miles of mixed driving.
