You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?
Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried. Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning. In hindsight this movie was so lame the acting was horrible and the cars were super rice |

did you ever see the email that circulated that was something like "fast food or furious"... just a burger/fastfood themed parody of the movie. I remember one of the quotes was something like... Last night, somebody came into happymeal, upsetting the fries, and you no what? It was RONALD! think of when the Asian guy had his place raided by the feds. |

Recommended weight is 5W-30.
A TSB was issued recommending ILSAC GF-4 and ok-ing the use of 5W-20. I have used 20 wt exclusively. I currently am running (and intend to stick with) Renewable Lubricants BIOSYN 0W-20. |

I switched to 5w-20 after 10,000 miles. Recommended should be 5w-30 like above post said. Definatly noticed an engine response and fuel economy benefit when switched.

It is not "back spec'd". All yaris are spec for 5w-30 or heavier in severe service. Warning on TSB says to run what is on the oil fill cap and thats 5w-30.

The TSB was OK'ing GF-4 rather than GF-3, and further stating that certain future engines would be OK with 5w20 and/or 0w20. So far as I know, no current Yaris engines are really supposed to be using Xw20 oils. -Steve |

Note the words used are recommended, not required. The NZ series is listed in the column for engines that can use 5W-20. For those folks who are scared of 20wt oils, some of the conventional 5W-30's people use shear down to 20wts in short order anyway, it just goes unnoticed because most people don't have their used oil analyzed. Not a big deal under most circumstances. Also for clarity I realize that 0W-20 is not recommended. It stands to reason however that there is in reality no difference between 5W-20 and 0W-20 to the engine except for improved cold performance as long as the 0W-20 is a quality, shear stable formulation. SilkySmooth is not wrong for running a 10W-30 HDEO if he is really running his car hard for long periods of time and elevating the oil temp. I don't think the particular 0W-20 I choose to use in my Yaris is a bad decision either given the fact most of my trips are under 10 mi in cold weather, and the oil hardly has time to reach normal operating temperature. Plus I drive like an old lady. People should use what they are most comfortable using in there own cars. It is your car after all. In reality this is all really splitting hairs. R2 |
