5w-20 for all Yaris (Yarii)? - Toyota Yaris Forums

UTVitz · 01-01-2012, 01:09 PM

So many people pestered Toyota about using 5-20 or 0-20 that they finally sent out a TSB saying it's okay to use it they wouldn't void your warranty if you did. That being said Toyota has never changed the recommendataion on the cap even on the 2012 which still says 5-30 telling me they prefer we stick to 5-30. My '08 RAV4 has both 0-20 and 5-20 printed on the cap, so if Toyota really thought the Yaris 1.5 should have different weights then why didn't they put them on the cap in later years after the TSB? Because 5-30 is what they prefer while the car is under warranty.
