Redline 5-30W if cost is no object.
Best 5w30 Synthetic Motor Oil?

You question could be changed to, is there a bad 5w-30 synthetic oil? I don't think so. I save my left over RL 5w-30, carefully stacking the used bottles to get every drop, and what ever is left of the last bottle and save if for my lawn mower. I'm thinking of asking for donations so I can get a Dyson Analysis on the RL in the lawnmower. What do you think?
toyota valvetrains like a thicker film
Redline, I believe, is the only 5w-30 that is Acea A3 rated. If you are into good HT/HS numbers then that would be another reason to go Redline. Imho,They make a great product.
What oil provides this?
3k oil changes are for people who like to burn money. 5k oil changes are recommended by Toyota for there products for "severe" conditions. So, yes 5k is "regular" or "normal". 3k is a little too cautious. Just throwing away good oil. 7k-10k would be extended for me. Some people go 15k or even 25k on here with the right oil...ie Mobil 1 EP, or Amsoil Series 2000, 3000.

I put Amsoil 5W-30 in my RX-7. The rotary hasn't complained and the all-important engine temps are down a few degrees. As I'm not far from Superior, WI I can't argue about the quick shipping either

Toyota valvetrains like M1... How would you quantify its oil film???

You're welcome, but you need to define "best". As you've stated the question, virtually any synthetic oil on the market can be said to be
"best". Think about it -- are there any bad ones out there??? This question is, in essence, an invite to another grand tail chase -- fun but it will never be conclusive. Please tell us what performance parameter(s) is(are) most important to you -- long drain performance, ultimate wear protection, heat breakdown resistance, BITOG popularity, what??? Honestly, an unconstrained debate about what oil, syn or dino, is "best" is like standing in a Baskin-Robbins arguing about what flavor is "best".*
*I've used this analogy repeatedly here on BITOG as I hear it from my kids repeatedly. Think about that...
What did you decide on? What flavor Toyota engine is this?

Oh, sure, THAT's gonna happen, Louie!
My favorites would be MaxLife synthetic and Synpower. I can't tell you the "why" because I am not a scientist. Just a heavily biased Valvoline fan.
