As most everyone has suggested, it's an ideal candidate for a 10W-30. As we've been discussing in other threads lately, a 10W-30 will almost always have better volatility specs and less viscosity-modifying additive than a 5W-30, and that's a good thing. Debatable whether that would be of any use to you with this engine, because it's not high-performance, GDI, turbo, or any of that jazz. Still, a 10W will hold up better, long-term.
Personally, I like synthetic because it's not that much more expensive, especially when you can find mail-in rebates, and find it on sale, or both.
A couple of folks recommended Pennzoil Platinum 10W-30, and I think that would be an excellent choice, in either the regular or HM flavor. Valvoline Advanced is another good one. Those are usually less than $25 at Walmart, for a 5-quart jug.
I run the Fram Ultra filters in my 2007 Tacoma, at 10K intervals. My truck now has over 225,000 miles with only Mobil 1 30W oil (I've used 5W and 10W - currently it has 5W).
Since you don't know the history of what's been run in it or for how long, you may want to stick to a 5K interval for 3 OCIs or so, in case there's any buildup to clean out. After that, if it's not using any oil, should be no problemo to extend it a bit, with a good synth.
