Hey d2daily, I was just in Morristown, NJ. I went to a Jets game. Had VIP brunch at the stadium and front row seats. It was incredible! We took my Odyssey on that trip though. Got 25MPG round trip.

I'm from Costa Rica and we don't have Amsoil or red line oils. These are the brands represented here: Penzoil Castrol Shell Mobil ELF Qstate Do you have any experience with any of those brands? Which one would you recomend? |

I don't know man... I like the purple stuff (Royal Purple) but I guess it's because Royal Purple burns clean therefore works well in rotaries, man I miss my rotary. But looking at Amsoil, and 35,000 mile oil changes, it is quite tempting.
I've also heard of this oil called Schaffer's oil (Not sure if I spelled it correctly) you guys might want to look it up. Basically, there are metal molecules in the oil and it pretty much helps seal the oil by filling the tiny gaps in the part of the block that the cylinders are moving up and down (Sorry for my lack of correct terminolgy, I'm from rotory world) therefore better preventing blowback (When exaust gasses go past the oil rings and into the oil). You must see the diagram to fully comprehend this illustration. I personally am quite suspicious because of the metal molecules in the oil but perhaps one of you may be bold enough use it in your yaris. If so PLEASE testify of the products effectiveness. Thanks -Josh |

Those types of oils / additives I think are made more for engines high mileage, loose rings and worn cylinders to increase compression etc. as far as 35000 mile oil changes... that cant be serious is it? Ill never change my oil on that schedule. Just put mobile 1 synthetic in this afternoon and noticed the engine runs smoother, hopefully thats not just a placebo effect of trying an expensive oil.

Amsoil is great and all but no api/starburst which means not kosher for warranty.

Hey everyone. I still have my 07 Yaris. I've been using synthetic Mobil-1 and my last few have been with Valvoline Synthetic. My Yaris still runs perfectly. Almost 65K miles. Zero engine problems. Valvoline Synthetic with Napa Gold Oil Filters are a match made in heaven! I've been using 5W-20 or 5W-30. I just did a trip with my wife and 2 kids from Richmond, Va to Morristown, NJ and got 39MPG. We had the air conditioning going the whole time. Not bad at all.

That was a long time ago... weird and funny at the same time. My 2 posts are still on the same page. Kinda like a little time capsule! hehe

Hi
Can anybody suggest which 5w20 oil is better and why, especially if they both made by Shell Pennzoil Platinum http://www.pennzoil.com/#/motor-oil/pennzoil-platinum or Quaker state advanced Engine? http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en Pennzoil is 4.73L and $1 more than 4 quarts Quaker state Advanced engine, Since Yaris engine takes only 4L(btw, a bit more than 4 quarts) it seems to be a waste to buy a Pennzoil, unless it replaced often and .7L leftovers are accumulated to 4 L? or Pennzoil Platinum significant better than QS. QS Advanced Engine is no longer listed on QS website, and Pennzoil writes on a jug that it cleans engine well, and when I did use it last time, it became dirty pretty quick which means it did its cleaning job well? |

Both are very good oils as is SHELL Full Synthetic 5w-20 . All are from the same company . No bad choices , just which one is least expensive .

I recently started a new job as a courier. I drive about 10,000 miles a month. I'm getting my oil changed every two weeks. I want to make the switch to synthetic. I'm thinking of going with Amsoil SAE 0W-30 Signature Series. According to the manufacturer, I can go 25,000 miles on each oil change. Does anyone have any input on this? Anyone else travel high miles like me? If so, what do you use? When I make make the switch, should I do a flush? I have just a little over 50,000 miles on my 2010 Yaris.
