what brand of oil?

Just want to get you guys' input. My 3.4 swap will be from a '97 Taco and I am thinking of going for a synthetic oil, so what are you guys using and why did you choose this from other brands. Thanks for your time.

I switched to 5W30 with my 3.4 since that's what Toyota specs for it. I stayed with Mobil 1 since Wallyworld has the 5 qt jugs for about $20. I'm using the Napa Gold (95 Taurus) filters, because they are bigger.

Been running Amsoil since 1996. They invented synthetics in 1970.
