I say go with synthetic. Not just for your oil, but all your fluids.

Let your motor brake in 1st. Maybe around 10,000 miles. Then put it in.

I say synthetic is a waste from what I've seen. These toyota engines will run 1/4 million miles easy on regular oil (especially the 22R's) if you treat them right. In that time perioud you would buy spend enough to buy another engine if you were using synthetic I would bet. Just my .02.
