This is normal. Funnily enough, a Toyota dealer is probably the cheapest place to get a 0w20 oil change (TGMO from Exxon-Mobil) and OE filter for your vehicle.
Pros: cheapest place

I suggest you to use 5W40. I have a Toyota Auris and i change them every 7.500km without filter change and at 15.000 km with filter change. In my city at summer the temperature is about 40°C on summer and I have 257.000 km. I haven't any problems till now. My engine running smooth and never burned oil.
Pros: engine running smooth
Cons: no filter change sometimes
Vehicle:
Toyota Auris
Mileage: 257000 km
When I worked at Scarb.Lexus Toyota I remember the oil filters were definitely a different world of change from the filters you pick up in stores, everything from the seals to the inside filter paper were superior so I always get my filter from the dealer.
Pros: superior seals, filter paper

I replaced mine with the OME Toyota part, was night and day better. I paid 390 from the local here, was advised this is one part you might want to stick with the manufacturers part. Definitely was worth it
Pros: night and day better, worth it
I have a 2014 Tundra and had my unit go out. I believe it to be heat related because I found the cooling fan on the unit not to be working. I blew it out with compressed air and it has come back to life ( was out for about a week). Out of caution, I am going to replace the fan.
Pros: came back to life
Cons: heat related, fan not working
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
I don't recommend toyota oem fluid for hard driving because it seems to cook easily.
Cons: cooks easily
I have a 2010 with 218k miles loses zero oil but I lose coolant think I have a head issue. But I've put about 20k on the car just topping off coolant once a week. I would say the head gasket issue is pretty high I've never had a car with a bad head until now.
Pros: loses zero oil
Cons: loses coolant, head issue
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Mileage: 218000 km
