I do my own every 5k or so, dealership sells me the toyota oil and filters at a good price, around $5/qt. So far so good at 218,000 miles.

I am fragile.
Not like a flower.
But like a bomb.
Yo, congratulations on the new Rig, I'd love to see some pics. As for the oil the manual states you can use the following oil weights:
0w20
5w20
5w30
10w30
As for oil brand any off the shelf synthetic will serve you well in these engines. I personally run a 0w30 or a 5w30 with great results; switch to a 30 weight oil on my second oil change and immediately noticed a difference. Oil change interval is really a comfort level with you personally, I change my oil every 5k. I know the oil I use can easily to 10k+ but I enjoy the peace of mind changing it at 5k. And it gives me an opportunity to give the under carriage a good visual inspection. FYI wile your under the rig remember to grease the driveshaft.
Lots of youtube videos showing the oil change and driveshaft procedure.
so what difference did you feel going from 0w20 to 5w30
?
