I would rather stick to the manual which says 5w30 oil, 370kms a week and with excess speed of 100km/hr is nothing for a conventional oil as long as you replace it regularly at 5000km interval... but if you have the extra money then why not go for 5w30 fully synthetic which is more than 2.5x the cost in our country... however you can benefit one thing and that is TIME in going to the shop since you will visit the shop for oil change once every 10k km. As for engine protection, during heavy traffic in Cebu/Mactan, i believe fully synthetic oil is excellent but conventional oil is more than sufficient to do the job too.. Unless you rev your engine at past 3500-4000 all the time (above 120km/h) even at this condition i see my coolant temp at average 85-87deg C.. Oil temp could be higher let say +10C and can be handled by Conventional oils with ease.. Regarding your question on 0w40, if that is written in your vios manual then go for it. Otherwise you will have warranty problems if your car is new and under warranty. I have seen a lot of guys in this forum use 5w30 with their yaris/vios... In middleast (hot weather averages 45-50degrees during summer) Toyota manual says to use 5w30... Fuel economy will be out of your hand when you are driving in traffic (like cebu/mandaue/mactan areas). Personally i tried driving on a free highway with my OBD and android phone as gauge and i have seen that during light traffic my fuel consumption goes down to ave 11-13km/liter... during heavy traffic (comparably in cebu city area/mandaue city) maybe 9-12km/liter... But when i am on a highway and moving freely at 85-90km/hr my fuel consumption is very nice at above 18km/liter but if i rev the engine like 3500-4000+ to speed up like 120/130+ km/hr i will just average at 12-15km/liter...
