The best all rounder motor oils currently in the US are Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Amsoil Signature, the latter you can run for at least 20k normal service or 15k extreme service.
Use only Valvoline restore and protect every 5 k miles. Keeps engine clean keeps and oil use normal
If it's burning oil try a few change intervals with Valvoline Restore and Protect. It's supposed to remove deposits on the piston rings and reduce oil consumption.
I got better results from signature 5w30 at 11,200 mi than I did from Motorcraft “full synthetic(lies) at 4300mi. So I change my amsoil at 8-10k and my Pennzoil ultra platinum at 7500.
I like amsoil 5w-30 and do a liquimoly engine flush with every oil change.
What I would do is have the oil changed but make sure you use Valvoline Restore & Protect and a new quality filter (OEM Toyota, Wix, Mobil 1). Drive the car about 1600km, then do the oil change again using new oil and filter, drive again for 1600km, do it a 3rd time.
On a new car, I change at 750, then again at 3000, and after that I do my regular once per year or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, as stated on Amsoil Signature. I've been using this oil for decades in cars, trucks, and tractors. It's incredibly good oil.
Valvoline 0w20
I burn a little bit of oil and started to run the Valvoline restore and protect 5w30 in my n18 r56 with 178k miles (286k km). Hard to tell what burns vs leaks out though.
I learned this the hard way switching to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30, destroyed my bearings just like you.
