My new 4Runner has not ever had synthetic, and I live in Texas where the weather goes to opposite extremes in the same week. Question is, is it ok to change to synthetic at this mileage, and would you guys use 5W30 (as recommended by Toyota) or 10W30?
Also, should I just buy Toyota filters, or something from Auto Zone?
Thanks for your help.

There should be no problem in switching to mobil 1 I would go with what the manual says as far as the oil weight.
As far as the filter goes I would stick with the Toyota/Denso stock filter and buy them on line for the best deal or you could get a Wix or Napa Gold "same thing" on line at Fleet Filter I think it's Fleetfilter.com or just Google Fleet Filter. The Wix/Napa Gold is a great filter for the 4runner.
