Yes, and over a year ago. Toyota issued a TSB which states one can use 20 weight oil in their 1.5L engines.

For the millionth time!

See attached official Toyota TSB, and you will see that the Yaris 1.5L engine can use 20 weight.

And yes, I've been using 0W-20 in my Yaris for the past 54,000 miles. Increase in MPG is just around 1% however. I use the light stuff so that it gets circulated quick during cold morning starts. Quick circulation means less wear and tear during the first start up. And it is during the first start up that 90% of engine wear happens. My engine does not consume any oil after 5,000 miles. The engine runs smooth and no strange sounds coming out of it either.
