That is not an oil I would use personally, but you can't argue with results. Changing the oil is much more important than what brand of oil you use when you change it.

That said, I use only Valvoline motor oils in all my vehicles. Period.

I'll second that motion; it's the neglect that really kills a vehicle. Plus, we know synthetics are better than conventional. Therefore, I change mine with Mobil 1 every five thousand miles, and the other car gets Pennzoil synthetic at the same interval. Both run like a champ!

5K with dino, 7.5K and up with most synths. another thing people always forget to maintain is tire pressure. if you want good mpg and to avoid a blowout on the highway, check them bad boys every week...

Good information for all yardee owners

Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20. I bought a couple of cases of it for my Mazda3 and have been using it in the wife's Yaris ever since I saw the 5W-20 TSB.

All the UOAs seem to say that's it's a pretty good oil. I'm not going to lie to anybody and say that it's the best oil out there, though. It is pretty cheap, especially with BOGO deals popping up fairly often.

For me it seems to strike a nice balance between performance and price, but I wouldn't say a word against anyone running Torco, Amsoil, or any other premium oil. Once you get past the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel brands they're all decent oil, it all comes down to preference and how much value you put on that extra little piece of mind.

Amsoil 5W-30

[1stToyota]

[pinoypizzaboy]

i just tried amsoil 0w-30 and amsoil filter good stuff. i think 0-30 is too thin for las vegas weather so im getting 5-30 next

[Klink10]

Amsoil 5w-30 XL.....cause i'm a dealer.

[PHXDEMON]

I like to run mobil1. Currently running valvoline full synthetic (came free with the car). Any Full synthetic oil is good IMO.

I would never do 5k with dino. Unless maybe its a very high quality dino oil. Most poeple reccomend 3k because after that you start to really get sludge buildup. Especially if you get your oil changed at any quick oil change place. They all use bulk oil which is the lowest grade recycled oil.

Oh yeah btw I use either 5w-20 amsoil and when its not available i use royal purple

PENNZOIL Platinum ( synthetic ) 5w-30 in '08 Liftback and the PLATINUM 5w-20 in the '08 sedan . Can get the PLATINUM for less than $4 a quart when on sale ( A.A.P. or PEPBOYS ) or at WALLYMART in a 5 quart jug for less than $20 .

in the T.S.B. by TOYOTA says 5w-20 only , not 0w-20 . Here's the T.S.B. number , TS-EG018-06 ( the last 2 digits are the year T.S.B. was / is released ) . Got the TOYOTA service department where the '08 YARIS sedan was purchased to e-mail the T.S.B. as confirmation and saved the T.S.B. ( copied from P.C. ) in case of warranty issues with the use of the 5w-20 , says 5w-30 on oil cap and in owners manual . Best to be safe than sorry .
