Use Mobil 1 Extended Performance or the Castrol EDGE Extended Performance and get even better performance. They don't cost much more than the lower Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-30
 
I'm sorry but why all of the 0w30 recommendations? Without reading the owners manual I'm going to assume that any API-SN 5w30 will suffice. The OP doesn't need a syn in this application, and according to the owners manual 5w30 is all thats required. There are many 5w30 grades available for less that $10 a gallon, even Quaker State Ultimate Durability can be had when on sale.

He's driving lots of highway miles, so using synthetic for an extended interval is appropriate here. Cheap conventional for shorter drains will also fine too, but this is a situation where synthetic will have good return on investment.

Yes they do.

Fram Ultra XG 4386

You can use this bigger filter --- it fits the 2002 Camry 2.4L as a reference point

He DID read the owners manual and he said 5w30

No one said anything about synthetic being REQUIRED, but it's definitely ideal for this application.

I would go with any of the 30 weight synthetics from Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum, or Valvoline ... and the oversized Fram XG 4386
