I use mobile 1 10w 30 synthetic and have nothing but good experiences with it, along with the mobil 1 filter. I'm thinking of trying royal purple this oil change.

the best filter to use is the standard Toyota filter, as it has a non return valve in it, and its usually as cheap, if not cheaper than other filters.

The motor was designed to run hundreds of thousands of miles with 5w30/10w30 oil (or 10w40 in hot climates). Says so right on the oil filler cap!  -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon

You have to remember that these cars are getting old now and need a bit of TLC....10w50 offers a bit more protectionn to the aging internals...but each to thier own, run what you want.
