oil

from what i've learned always run factory toyota filters.they have a nominal and beta raiting.do not add any additives to your oil or fuel.with your oil always look for an API certification(the round donut on the front)and don't change it to another brand.with your mileage i would run a 0w30 (0 at the front means 0 vis at start-up and 30 vis at temp.)check your top coolant hose when she's warm.if it's not hard to squeeze then you need a new rad cap.if your running green coolant you will need suplamental coolant additives.do not fill your rad with tap water because it creates scale.you can get demineralized water from any store.green anti was outdated 50 years ago.hope that helps
