If you track your car go with an ester based synthetic - best protection out there.

Glad to verify the engine has dino oil from the factory.

Just got a GS-F and will be doing an oil change at 2K,5K,7.5K,10K with Shell Dino 5W-30 (costco has a case of 12 of $28 on sale) and then to Mobil 1 5W-30 at 5k intervals after that. My wife was annoyed when I bought 18 cases of shell dino oil and 20 cases of Mobil 1 this past spring when there was a huge sale but the GSF capacity will eat through that at a decent pace.
That's an overkill. Just had my 5k done and the oil looked new.

For those of you wondering, it's the same oil filter as the Tundra/Sequoia 5.7. YZZA4. Same oil filter cap and all. Thanks to the rebates, the dino oil changes are $23 and Synthetic is $27... for the DIYers.

The cap is different for the F cars, it is longer... The filter has the same dimensions.
