Based on what I read and see above, Yaris has a very reliable engine .. (Which is good cause I plan buying one).. It also seems to have timing chain rather than timing belt which I also like

Winters in Moscow probably call for a synthetic oil? |

Winters in Moscow are relatively mild compared to my hometown in Eastern Russia )) Also, from a standpoint of winter-operation, is there a difference in mineral vs synthetic engine oil if both are rated as f.i. 5W40? I switched to synthetic oils something like 5 years ago for all cars I had since that time .. cause I heard they keep engine clean better |

I have been running Mobile 1 5w20 in all my japanese cars for the last 6 years. My 06 CRV has 212k on it and is very quiet, runs like new,no problems. I am running it in my 08 Yaris Sedan and I change both of these every 10k. I am a Fram filter believer, no matter what any body says, the "extra" fram filters are great. I am getting over 30mpg in the CRV and 35/42 in the Yaris.
