Oil change coming up next week

Hey All!

As a novice ecomodder (3+ months now) I've received alot of good advice here and glad I found this site. Looking for a little more advice.

I have a 2005 Toyota 4runner and I'm due for an oil change. I've always driven the car into the dealership, had them change the oil, and driven it home. After being on this site a little now I'd like to actually get involved with the maintenance of my vehicle (I'm sure the techs at the garage will be thrilled).

We have winter coming up in MA and I was wondering if synthetic oil would be a good thing to have (not just for winter I guess). And, if it's a good idea what brand, grade, etc. would be a good idea. I'm not even sure what brand, grade, etc. they pump into my car when I get oil changes (might be a good thing to know).

Thanks for any responses!
