If they do that much driving, don't you think it's a justifiable investment to purchase synthetic oil? What about people who live in areas with colder climates? Should they not invest in synthetic oil, regardless of how inexpensive the Yaris is? Don't just view things from your eyes.

And since oil doesn't need to be changed so often, throwing in a few extra dollars for synthetics isn't going to hurt. I mean, we throw more money than that away every single day on our unnecessary luxuries, fast food (some of us), beer, etc. Big deal, you get me?
I think you are the one that doesn't get it!

Before you tell someone off, read!

He was asking why would anyone buy the expensive Royal Purple for a Yaris, not why anyone would buy synthetic oil!

Only a fool would use Royal Purple in their car because of all the following:

1. Using RP over another branded synthetic WILL NOT cause your engine to last longer.

2. Users of RP have not shown better UOA's then those that use other brands of synthetic oil, and in fact RP users show worse UOA's then most users of other brands of synthetic oil.

3. Why pay so much for RP when there are MANY cheaper synethetics that cost less and provide the same or better engine protection?

4. One can get 300,000+ miles from their Yaris engine if they use the cheapest "worse" conventional oil sold in America, so again, only a fool would pay $8 or more per quart for RP.

Yeah, I realized that after he finally stated that he uses Mobile1. So, calm yourself down. Besides, if anyone wanted to use RP in their engine, it's certainly their prerogative.
