As for what kind, that's up to you. I use Royal Purple 5w30. Others like Mobil1, etc. As for the filter, just use the oem toyota one.

I'm taking possession of my car on Saturday and I already know I'm going to use Mobil 1 with an OEM filter.

Hi new to the forum and just had a few questions..

what do you guys think of using Mobil One 5w-30 Extended Performance on a 2006 IS350?

Also, apparently they dont make a Mobil One Oil Filter for the IS350; so I am getting a Purolator Oil Filter. What do you guys think?

Let me know if you have any other recommendations.

Thanks!

Eneos- Ultimate oil. You can buy oil filters from Pepboys or Autozone.
