Quick 2007 Yaris oil change question - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Btw, I though TSB said 0w20. Not 5w20. :)

I run 0w30

Just a thought here...

Would you really use 0-20 oil in 90+ degree temperatures?

Sounds too thin to me...

Yeah, I don't think it applies to warm states.

Why not 5W30 as the manual suggests?

5w30 is a good choice. 5w20 will be thinner and give better mpgs (in theory) and Toyota gave a service bulliten suggesting its use so either is acceptable

Does anyone have a copy of said TSB?

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w30 (Walmart $27) and OEM filter (dealer), DIY, every 3300 miles, when possible. 90K in the odometer.

Two weeks ago was the exception, 4000 miles (round trip to Austin, TX from Boston). Oil changed Wednesday then Sunday.

And if you want 5W30 in, someone else won't take the liberty to use 5W20, telling you that it's better.

I would like to use syntec oil, but as a way to save money as this will extend my oil change time, i currently change my oil at 5000km (dusty roads,day temp avg 31 deg c) with syntec i believe i can go for 10,000 saving me money for oil filters and also time (as i change oil myself) My yaris takes a little under 4 qts of oil

- 4 qt of castrol 10w 30 dino oil is $30 US
- 4 qt castrol 10w 30 full syntec $53 US

Since i'll be doing 2 dino oil changes in the same amount of time (10,000km) i'll have to buy 8 qts dino oil totaling $60 US as compared to $53 US for the full syntec during the same period (10,000) also i will have to purchase and extra oil filter ($20US) and my time to change it.

so the syntec can out for me

I used castrol syntec every 10000 km with a new filter in my 05 for my changes. It had 377,400 km when I sold it and no problems.

Do it yourself, recycle the old oil and save money.
