For the Camry:
1. Dino.
2. Pennzoil Yellow Bottle.
3. 5W-30.
4. Toyota OEM.
5. 5,000 miles.
For the RAV4:
1. Dino.
2. Pennzoil Yellow Bottle.
3. 5W-20.
4. Toyota OEM.
5. 5,000 miles.
I figure Toyota has done more research into this topic than I have, and trust them on knowing what weight and OCI is appropriate for their vehicles.
Modern dino oils are outstanding, and I see no reason to switch to synthetic long-term (though I'm running synthetic in the Camry now to see how well it holds up vs. dino).
After cutting open an OEM oil filter, I rather liked what I saw, so I'm going to stick with that.

Based on you current knowledge Jimmy visits you and gives you 60 seconds to decide the following about your CURRENT vehicle. You will never be allowed to change any selection as long as you own this vehicle. Consider all aspects like price, future price increases, availability, etc. and choose.
1) Synthetic or Dino?
2) What brand?
3) What viscosity?
4) What Oil Filter?
5) What OCI?
Better hurry Jimmie is getting upset and will hit you with his dipstick if you take longer than 60 seconds to choose...
Rotella T 5w40 (Grp III synth), ST filter, 7.5 OCI.
Then I would take Jimmy's dipstick and shove it up his....
