I think Jalopnik covered that video too. Between that and BobIsTheOilGuy my takeaway is that any full synthetic is fine. The Amazon oil comes from the same factory as Walmart's SuperTech oil if I'm not mistaken.
If I were to buy a brand new 4Runner I would probably go with Mobil1. If it costs $10 more than the cheapest brand, then over 300,000 miles you're paying less than $500 more for it. That's worth it to me for their guarantee.
But I bought mine with 150,000 miles on it already so who knows what was run in it before or for how long. I want to keep maintenance as cheap as possible. Everybody has their own opinion though.
