I had the same 1ZZ-FE engine in our 2003 Pontiac Vibe - Had it for 14 yrs and sold it a couple of years back .
We live in a climate that sees a lot of high heat and humidity . Mostly 5W-30 conventional was used - a majority was Valvoline.
Any 5W-30 / 10W-30 will do you fine . Changed mine every 4k-5K miles due to short trips being 80% of it's use. I used larger oil filters just for grins , Fram PH3600 long and PH3614 short.
Also : Change your pcv valve to help oil consumption .

Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 is a great oil and can be found at Walmarts for ~$23 for a 5 quart jug. Ed
