Rachel,
Various vehicles want different types of oil. You want to check the owners manual on this one!

Dear Rachel,
The best thing to do is check the owners manual to see what the manufacturer recommends. If you don't have the manual then give a call to a local Toyota dealer, talk to service or parts and ask what you should use.
Just so you know...I'm still driving my 88 Toyota pick-up with 260,000 miles...they have a long life! Good luck with it.
