synthetic or fossil oil in new 4Runner
On Toyota's Canadian website it recommends using Toyota full synthestic 5w30 oil in the new 4Runner.
Is this the same here in the US?
I was always tought that its better to use fossil oil for the first 2 oil changes, and then switch to synthetic.
What is your opinion?

I think Toyota is right on this but I think I'd use Mobil-1 intead of the Toyota oil. They don't make it in any case.
I've changed vehicles with as little as 1000 miles over to Mobil-1 with no problems. It's factory fill on a number of new vehicles now so there must not be a breakin problem.
