I use CASTROL EDGE 0W-30 (full synthetic motor oil) and change it every 15,000 km. Never need to refill in 35.000 km. After 10 min warming up I pushed it to his limits quite often.

I use the recomendet oil 0w20. I have 58k and my car is using like 1l of oil in 3-5k km. I think is very normal for this type of oil. I must mention that is doing this from 0 to 58k so relax.

With 0w30 is normal to not to be needed to refill.

No probs here. Drive it like its stolen. Having said that, at 458km (about 300 miles) engine stopped - all the inlet valve train had collapsed - some bits found in sump. Dealer said 5th of the 1.8 in yaris / corolla he had seen. Now very noisey on startup - sounds like a Honda vtec!!!

One thing I noticed - engine seemed to go better at about 10,000 km. Could there be an electronic limiter that resets?
