What oil do you use?
 
I use whatever 5W-30 SAE brand the Toyota stealership uses. Have never had a problem with oil leaks.

I just got mine last week and will be changing the oil with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 and a Fram Ultra oil filter.

5w-40.

10W-40 NAPA. 2005 SR5 150,000 miles - is in Bahamas (temps range from 60F to 100F year round)

10W -30 castrol magnetic synthetic oil. I jump a grade for oil leaks less on old seals.

Interesting read. Thanks for that!

7 quarts?

7 qts? Odd

I use Mobile 1 synthetic 5W30 or 10w30, whatever’s cheaper. If both the same then 10w30. Change it every 3000-3500.

More capacity due to remote filter mount and extra large M1-301 oil filter

Ah, I see. More oil can't hurt.
