For the millionth time! See attached official Toyota TSB, and you will see that the Yaris 1.5L engine can use 20 weight. And yes, I've been using 0W-20 in my Yaris for the past 54,000 miles. Increase in MPG is just around 1% however. I use the light stuff so that it gets circulated quick during cold morning starts. Quick circulation means less wear and tear during the first start up. And it is during the first start up that 90% of engine wear happens. My engine does not consume any oil after 5,000 miles. The engine runs smooth and no strange sounds coming out of it either. |

I highly, highly suggest that one runs what the factory calls for in regards to viscosity and weight. Especially for those that have never owned a car that utilizes a timing chain configuration.

Which is 5w-30 (5w-20 recommendation added later), and that's what I use...1% over the 40+mpg that I already get isn't worth the risk of using a viscosity that isn't listed on the Toyota TSB...unless of course you're forced to quote only a part of the multi-viscosity rating to fool yourself into thinking it's okay to use the wrong oil

ALL the oil brands that sell 0w-20 make the claim that that their oil is a great match for ANY 5w-20 application. AMSoil, Mobil1 and others make this claim. And you are dead wrong about California and 0w weight oil. Anytime the ambient temperature is below 40F one will IN FACt benefit from 0w oil. You are also very foolish to think that it does not snow in California. It does in fact. Film strength and viscosity have NOTHING to do with each other. And in fact, there are some 20 weights that provide film longer then heavier oils. What you fail to understand is that 0w-20 and 5w-20 provide the SAME protection at full operational temperatures. The difference is during the first morning start of the cold day. And if a 5w is fine, then a 0w will be too. This is true according to AMSoil, and Mobil1 and ALL other makes that make 0W oils. According to Toyota, 5w-20 can be used safely in a Yaris 1.5L engine. Now, that being true, one can ALSO use 0w-20, 0w-30 too for our Yaris engines, and this according to ALL the makers of 0w oils. It is too bad you behave like you know more about oil then Toyota, AMSoil, and Mobil1. |

So is four quarts of Castrol 5w-30 way to much?? I checked it and it is over the full line a little bit , but not drastically.

That say 5w-20 is for the Yaris, not 0w-20

5w-20 and 5w-30, and that's the way it'll be until you can fully quote, exactly, a multi-viscosity recommendation of 0w-30 or 0w-20 for the Yaris in a Toyota TSB Quote:
Show me where Toyota says that "0w-20" is okay to use in the 1.5 Yaris motor on the Toyota TSB...you can't include Toyota with AMSOIL and Mobil1 because they don't agree with Toyota. They list "0w-20" but Toyota TSB will not list "0w-20" for the Yaris 1.5...you drawing your own conclusions isn't good enough for me, I'll stick with Toyota TSB and owner's manual recommendations. |

that must mean you can use Peanut butter instead of oil, since the cap doesn't designate specific oil weights!!
