What is the oil type for a 2002 Toyota Celica?

I drive an older Celica and I’d like to start doing the oil changes at home to cut down on car costs and learn a new skill. I have the basic idea of how to do it, but I just want to make sure I get the right oil type.

Learning car maintenance skills is such a good idea! The oil type for a
2002 Toyota Celica
is Mobil 1 - Extended Performance 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil.
This type of Mobil 1 oil is made to be used on cars with higher mileage—meaning 75,000 miles or more. Since your
Toyota
is a 2002 model year, the mileage is likely in that range.
It’s also recommended that you fill your car’s engine with synthetic oil. This is a better quality oil than conventional or synthetic blends and will last longer. When you use synthetic oil in your Celica, you could drive about 7,500 miles between oil changes, versus 3,000 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil.
It’s a good feeling to know you can take care of your car’s scheduled maintenance on your own. It also feels great to save money on
