if you really need a vehicle that is reliable and fast, then I would say no, but as an extra car and a hobby to learn new things to restore, then yea. Either way you have it and good situation to learn new things with tutorials.
Here is a handy sheet of all the types and quantity of fluids and filters for the engine if/when you get to that:
if the engine is a 2.0

if engine is a 3.0

You did not mention how many miles on the vehicle, that would also be a factor, if over 200k, I would move on. if less, use the synthetics in the links and you should be ok. Hope you found this useful.

if you are looking for an air filter then I use these products to help gas mileage:

also here are some roof racks that are worth looking at:

look in the manual, I doubt it is 3000 miles, that is from way back in the day to make Jiffy Lube money. Most vehicles are 5000+ unless you are using a low quality conventional oil
"Synthetic oil usually should be changed every 7,500 - 10,000 miles. Toyota recommends getting your 2018 Toyota Highlander oil & filter changed every 3,000-5,000 miles for conventional oil."

Hi, I stopped going to the dealer and I use this for my 2.5L 2016 Camry
https://www.searchforparts.com/oil-change/toyota-2016-camry-2.5l-2ar-fe
the dealer refused to put it in so I either do it myself or order and take it to my local mechanic.
I don't try other oil weights except for what is recommended for the Camry in the manual. I use this oil because I only change it 1 time per year, been doing it since 2005 when I had a 2001 Camry that was burning up oil for no reason and this synthetic oil solved the issue.
Handy look up page for a Camry

This is a good starting point to find the oil type, capacity, filter that fits and the owner's manual for any Camry between 1997 thru 2023.
Easy to use menu too.
