Whe n you go to the parts store the book will list your vehicle and will give you the part number for different brands. Any of these will fit your vehicle. The brand is a personal preference. Unless your car manual specifies different. For the oil use either 5W30 or 10W30. Check your manual or pop the hood and look on the underside of the hood. One of those should tell you. Mine takes and specifies either one. Also make sure that your car manual does not specify sythetic oil.Oil and filter for toyota matrix?
Um i know this is a comment but he oil is 5w20 or 5w30 I read i in my manaul Report Abuse

I have a new Toyota Yaris and the book calls for a high compression 5W30 oil and an oil filter with a check valve in it. This is important with the oil filter. A Toyota filter or a Bosch filter but not a Fram. These are cheaper filters without the check valve although they make them for all models of Toyota's. They should be stopped from doing this.
You might want to check with the dealer because i know the new rav 4 takes special oil from the dealer that is red in color so i think that would be your best bet.
