I currently have morimoto xb evos on my 5th gen and they do not disappoint in any category. Yes they're expensive, but they're pretty much the only real upgrade over factory leds in a facelift 5th gen.
i honestly have no way to prove if it works, but i started using it in my ‘98 corolla about 20k mi ago (known for burning oil due to flawed piston design) and have noticed a significantly lower oil consumption rate, which was almost 2qts every 5k down to less than half
I've used it for about 25k miles in my Camry with the 2AZ-FE engine (200k miles on it), it has the known issue with the piston rings being poorly engineered and seize up from excessive oil burning. I can personally confirm it has cleaned up my pistons, I haven't taken the engine apart so can't directly see the rings but oil consumption has reduced from 1 qt per 1k miles to now 1qt per 5k miles.
Well I see you went stp which is not as good as OEM. I run amsoil filters and have no issue, I prefer amsoil to OEM because amsoil have tested at a 99 percent particles are filtered out.
The wiper blades from Toyota are $21.99 each.
I bought a 2008 toyota yaris for $5.5k on fb marketplace. Had a prepurchase inspection.\n\nI love that car for the exact reasons you mentioned. It\u2019s been with me everywhere ive gone, is super cheap on gas, and just requires oil changes every 8000 km.

If you are using ToyotaCare, they will push 10k/1yr oil change interval. If you willing to pay for every oil change, they don't care.
Service writer gave me a ticket for Bilstein front and rear shocks on a 17 tundra, had to rebuild the front struts with the new set. I assumed it was the oem replacement... There's a small snap ring on the shaft of the shock that adjusts the spring seat (also the spring seat in this picture is installed upside down, something I too figured out the hard way).
I used PowerStop on my Land Cruiser and they were great, so I installed PoweStop on my wife’s rav4 and they were terrible. Very noisy with the squeaks , clicks, and clunks. I replaced them with Akebono and they have been fine since.
