5w-30 is what's recommended by Toyota owners manual and is also what I use in my 5sfe.

10W-30 is what I use in my hot climate and it's very good. Oil pressure dropped to 10PSI at idle after a few boost sessions with my old, bad radiator and no oil cooler.

how about additives? anybody use Lucas Oil? I use Rotella T 15-40 cause that's what Walmart has for $12 a gallon. then I spend the extra money on a good mobil one or Bosh filter.

I would spend money on better oil instead of any additives. For example if you're going to spend $30 on mobil1 and $10 on Lucas, might as well get a $10/qt AMSoil that will last you 7-10K miles without a sweat.

I use CASTROL Edge 10w-30 in the winter and 10w-40 summer, accompanied by a synthetic grade filter like Fram Ultra Synthetic, K&N, or Bosch Distance Plus. I still change it every 3k miles
I also have a customer that runs Royal Purple and changes it once a year. Says it's still good when he takes it out (only drives about 15k) and is purple, in his Toyotas. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

I use Super Tech from Wal-Mart and a Denso filter, Super Tech oil is made by Rotella/Shell.

Ya I figure Rotella has a good reputation. And I tend to change it after less than 3k miles, because the motor is kinda old and dirty.
And I've got a small leak coming from maybe the head or rocker cover on the intake side
