and do i have to ask for special oil, and what is the best oil for it?

dude, do some searches on yarisworld


there are MORE oil threads than any other thread on yarisworld.. everyone has an opinion on oil, and i don't want to get started on it because no matter what i recommend, someone will tell me i'm wrong (even though i've run the same oil on all my toyotas with no issues)

before the turbo i ran valvoline 5w30 just plain old oil. i buy toyota filters from www.partznet.com by the box of 10, saves money.. and i change my own oil

if you take your car to toyota for an oil change they're gonna put recycled oil in it, trust me on this.
