Been using 0W20 on my 2010 Corolla for 100,000km now with no issues. As others said, use a quality filter. I use the genuine filter from Toyota for around $12.
Best Oil filter for Toyota Corolla
$30 total.
$25 for 5qt oil, $4.5 for oem filter from Toyota dealership.
For oil, if you are changing your oil earlier than the OEM recommended oil change interval of 10k mi / 12 mo, then feel free to use the cheapest GF-6B API-SP certified oil of whatever type it says on your oil cap, along with a Toyota OEM filter, which is almost always cheapest to buy at the dealership's parts counter.
I use OEM filters on both, but I’ll use Wix filters if I’m not around the dealer.
Fram filters have a lower micron count than other brands, thus why people say they are bad. I would not use them on high performance stuff, but on econoboxes i would. been using exclusively fram on my 2006 corolla since it was brand new and it has 250k miles and still going strong, however on my mustang i only use motorcraft.
Wix. In 2003 Corolla and 2006 Rav4 + cheapest synthetic oil on sale every 5000km. Engine runs smoother. So smooth it feels like I can coast and maintain speed a lot of times. Which doesn't happen in my Subaru Outback with OEM filter and Mobil1 synthetic.
they're not the best, but they are built exactly to Toyota's specifications. So, while it's possible to have an aftermarket filter not built to Toyota's specifications, an OEM filter is more-or-less guaranteed to operate as intended for your specific car.
