Best Oil and Filter Combination, 22-RE
The search bar turned up nothing so i figured i would be the one to open this can o' worms.
I am about to change the oil for the first on my new truck and i want to make sure i'm giving it the best i can, so tell me what you think the best combo is. Synthetic? Real? Brands? Capacity?
What do you use and why?

Purolator PureOnes are a great filter, better made than Frams. I use the PL30001, which is the biggest filter the 22RE can fit (4x over stock).
Pick any name brand of oil. Your engine will not know the difference. Synthetics are good if you have extreme temps or want to run an extended drain. I usually use a 10w-40 or 5w-40.

Ah, gotcha. You also mentioned running a larger filter. Is there an advantage to that? I understand that it would increase the surface area of the filter material but would it not also decrease the oil pressure by increasing the system volume?

I use OEM Toyota filters. I bought my last set 10 at a time to get bulk pricing. Not more than a dollar more than the aftermarket ones. I have noticed that when changing oil, the Toyota filter is way heavier and barely any oil drains out after removal. By comparison, aftermarket filters drain nearly all their oil. When using the aftermarket filters this means it takes a little longer to fill the filter and start lubing the engine.
For oil, I use Castrol GTX only because my dad has used it for years. Other than that I have no reason to choose that over another. I think synthetic is a waste of money but once again, personal choice. I use 10w-40 instead of the 10w-30 the manual recommends. This is to keep the oil pressure up in the crappy remanned engine the P/O put in.

Same thing, always use OEM filters.
I have a preference for Shell Rotella 15-40
My other vehicles are diesels so I always have some on hand
and it works great. Was also surprised to see people running
it in their big bore KTM dual sports.

Hmm, the consensus appears to be OEM filters. I don't have a stealership anywhere close so it will have to be purolator this time but next time i'm over near the stealership i will pick up a case.

+1 for oem oil filter. There was a study somewhere on here that had numbers that were pretty impressive. Eventually you just learn that Toyota OEM, is usually just a superior product.

Eh....I change mine every 3k just out of habit. I agree definitely with every 3k with nothing but city stop and go. I run Mobil synthetic 10w30 and a Mobil filter. I used the Toyota G1 filter and didn't like dry start so much so I switched back to the Mobil filter.
But to me its really all preference of your 22r/re and what mods you have done imho.
