Default Oil Change

Well I decided to make the long drive down to Lexus to get my 33k Mile service done vice the local Toyota which is minutes away from me. Is synthetic oil recommended? They have a coupon worth $29.99 but that could vary if they find other things that need to be done. May take them up on their $49.99 detail service also. My tires seem to dribble a bit in the mornings then after about 5 miles or so they smooth out so I may have them balance along with the tire rotation.

Yes, synthetic is the only way to go 0-w20 and as far as tires go, your description of your "dribbling" tires it sounds you might have some abnormal wear on them.What tires are you running?Sometimes a rotate/balance will take care of that.Take it to your local tire place and have them just look at them.Then go from there.

Original Toyo's?

They seem to flat spot and "dribble" a little, especially when it cooler out.
