For those who use Synthetic oil - Toyota Yaris Forums

someone earlier mentioned the filter is just as important as the oil. i just changed the wife's yaris with pennzoil platinum 5w-30 and a mobil1 'extended performance' filter. i know the platinum is good stuff, but are the mobil1 filters any good(i would hope so as the filter retailed for 12.99 at autozone, but i got a deal for 5 quarts pp and mobil1 filter for 27.99)? i'm hoping this combination will get me 7500-10,000 miles as i'm already out of warranty(i normally change every 5000-6000, but i figure the fancy filter and full synthetic will help extend that).

Mobil 1 filters are very good quality and so are the pure one from purelator. You should be just fine with that oci

I have 85K miles on my Yaris (07). I use Amsoil with Toyota air and oil filters ( Sparks Toyota sells a case of 10 oil filters for $30 ). I change my oil @ 10K intervals and filters at 5K intervals . I have been doing 10k oil changes since 30k . My other Yaris (09) has 8k miles . It was driven off the lot with Amsoil . The 09 will also see 10k oil change intervals .

I use AMSOIL 5w30 w/AMSOIL filter EAo09 and change it once a year. I do not go over 20k and will change at 20k if I do.

The EAO09 filter is no longer recommended for extended use in our cars due to the Toyota engine issue that came up with the 1.8 liters. The filter should be changed at OEM intervals. Amsoil does recommend the MANN filter for use up to 7500 miles if used with Amsoil.
Ask your Amsoil dealer for more info or e-mail me and I'll send the TSB.
