I'd change the oil and filter with a Hyundai filter. Oil doesn't matter so much. These engines are very temperamental when it comes to the filters as they get higher in mileage.
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.
Running toyota filter.
In comparison, my local mechanic shops charges around the same price but they don't use OEM filters so I rather go to my local dealership.
All you need
to do is change your oil
And oil filter every 5000 miles OR 6 months using a high quality FULL SYNTHETIC Oil and a quality ( HYUNDAI) oil filter!!
My '88 Supra is typically just annual oil changes, maybe $40 for synthetic and filter. I've owned it about 14 years.
I got to Toyota next door for oil and alignment. $170 for both.
Toyota does all the maintenance on my Lexus’s once the freebies at Lexus are done. All charges are a good bit cheaper.
I do my oil changes and if i order online its less than 10$ a filter but if i dont place order online, its like 5 dollars more.
I couldn't do my own oil change last time since the weather was pretty bad and I was long over due. Brought it to Toyota of Bellevue, they had overtighten the oil filter to the point where I had to punch a screwdriver through it to get it out when I did my own change. Wouldn't want to take my car there again.
