I bought $20 wiper blades from Toyota. I will never buy other wiper blades again.
Reviews of OEM Toyota parts For Business

THEY WERE THE FACTORY BLADES. I can't tell you how amazed I was that the stock blades lasted over 100,000 miles and 7+ years, in a snowy climate.
I would not cheap out on an alternator, especially if you’re having a shop install it as paying for labor to replace two low quality alternators is equivocal to one OEM.
I have a 2003 Camry at 218k miles with no issues. I use standard air filters you can purchase at any auto parts store that fit the model.
Do it, new engines throw off a lot of burs and metal particulates before the parts get seated. I changed the oil on my 2023 venza limited at 950miles. Listen to the car care nut master Toyota tech who sez change the oil at first 1kmiles. He cuts open his filter after 1k miles and the filter is full of metal particles.
I just changed the oil in our new 2023 RAV 4 Prime at 1,000 miles, we have been driving in HV mode to run the engine for break in. I also sent off an oil sample, but have not received the results yet. I did open open up the oil filter and found some tiny bits of metal! At least the filter catches it. I have always changed the oil after the first 1,000 miles in our new cars (Toyotas the last 30 years). Also the dealer said every 10k miles but I always do it at 5k.
I feel it is a good idea to change the oil after the first 500-1000 miles.
I do this just in case something got left behind in the manufacturing process that I don't want circulating in the engine.
There is no guarantee this will make any difference in the life of the engine.
I do need to change the spark plugs. I haven't done that in 10+ years and 100,000+ miles. It just started misfiring slightly I believe (haven't checked the code yet), but it runs and drives well still.
I used Toyota OEM oil twice and was disappointed by the way it changed color at less than 5,000 kms. Two different mechanics asked me if I had delayed the oil change. Since then I started using Synthetic 0W-20 and never had any complaints.
I have a 2010 Prius that has been a daily driver and has 425000km on it. It ran perfect with only brakes and oil changes until 390000km when the head gasket went. Mechanic said the engine wasn't powerful enough to harm itself and after the replacement it's been running great.
