Provided you use the correct grade of oil as stipulated by Toyota for your engine(you have NOT identified your model and engine)(check your owners manual) and provided you use the formulation suitable for Toyota engines you will be fine using the correct grade fully synthetic oil. There are sometimes 2 or 3 different formulations in exactly the same grade for some oil brands so make sure you select the correct one.
Some oil companies offer oil selector programs for customer use on their web sites so if unsure use these systems to ensure you are using the correct oil..

SOURCE: best synthetic oil and battery

Mobil one or Castrol brand, use 10W-30W, the best battery around is made by Delco (they make a battery for your car), yes that is GM.

SOURCE: i don't know what weight of oil my car takes. i

You can get a professional consult free from mobile 1 at 1800 033-0863. It appears that 10w-30 and 10w-40 are commonly used in this make but the climate you live in could make a difference as well as your driving style. If the engine runs hot you'll want a heavier weight possibly but if you are in a cold climate that might not be the best thing. I'd call the number.

SOURCE: Is it safe to put

It depends on if the oil already in the car is synthetic of conventional. If the oil in the car is synthetic already you will be fine adding that. If it is conventional you will want to do a complete oil change and change the filter.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: can i use full synthetic engine oil in a Toyota corolla 1997 ?

Yes, but there is no point to doing so. Just use ordinary oil and change that and the oil filter at the minimum intervals.

Don't know if the oil in the vehicle is synthetic or not - what is the safest option to top up with? Semi-synthetic?

Might as well add synthetic, it will not hurt it either way but it is best to put synthetic over oil.

What engine oil do you put in a 1997 twin turbo legacy gt

the best would be a fully synthetic that still remains relatively thick(comparitvely speaking for synthetics as theyre known for being thin oil) very runny,but get something thats 10w 40 or 10w 50 unles you live in the snow then thin synthetic is fine,unless the engine has done heaps of miles,even semi synthetic if youre on a budget,but minimum
