10,000 mile update:
Decided it was time to get rid of the dino oil and am now on Mobil 1 5W-30 EP, selecting the oil filter took the most time since I really didn't want the cheapie Autozone one (around 2.49) and the choice at the upper end of the scale (Mobil1) cost over $12.00 which I thought was a bit much seeing I'm still going to change every 5000 so I settled for the filter in between the two by Bosch. (Someone who knows filters,your advice would be appreciated for the next change). Oil and filter ran around 34 bucks. Just for kicks with the next tank of gas I decided to see how far it would go on a tank and fill up immediately when the last bar started flashing and went 493 miles on 10.3 gallons driving just a little more conservatively than normal which averages 47.8 MPG, granted with excellent weather conditions but still very impressive to me especially considering the stuff that passes for gasoline nowadays...the Yaris rules!
