Here is my first oil analysis from Blackstone. 2007 Yaris sedan with just over 120,000 miles running Amsoil 5W-20. I thought the results are pretty good.

Excellent :bow: . Is that S.N./GF-5 or S.M/GF-4 ? May ditch the Pennzoil Platinum and go to the AMSOIL in a 5w-30 or 5w-20 . What oil filter and air filter were used ? How long have you used AMSOIL and did you have to top off the oil ? Last , is that the AMSOIL Signature , XL or OE ? Thanks for the post !

Maybe better for mileage, but as far as I know, Toyota has never issued a TSB showing use of 0W-20 for the Yaris, although it has been a while since I've looked...

Oil is here:

Signature series. Did not add any oil between changes, used with a Royal Purple oil filter, and an Injen CAI. I have been using Amsoil signature series along with the Royal Purple filter for quite a while, I want to say I started around 40,000 miles, but I can't confirm right now, as my wife took the car with her today.

The Yaris was given a :thumbsup: for the use of 0w-20 in Canada along with 5w-20 .

Good to know, I might switch to 0w20 next change. Is this confirmed for the USA as well?

I'd like to pitch in on the UOA's if possible. Is there already an AMSOIL Dealer on Yaris World?
I've been a member for awhile but after several good analysis, I figured I'd pop in here and talk to folks.
