Great Oil for cheap!
Hi all, I'm new to Yaris, but a 30 year plus Toyota owner.
I'm sure this is nothing new, but I found some great oil for $5.4 per Qt. Mobil1 extended service @ Walmart for $27. per 5 qt jug. Regular auto parts stores are selling this stuff for $9.99 per qt. http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...nce_5W-30.aspx |

3k/3 month interval:
Conventional Oil 10w-30 (40qts needed for 25k miles) @ $3.00/qt * 40 = $120.00 8 Standard Filters @ 6.00/filter * 8 = 48.00 Total: $168.00 AMSOIL 25k/1 year interval: AMSOIL 10w-30 (5 qts needed for 25k miles) @ 7.35/qt * 5 = $47.75 1 EaO Filter @ 18.30 Total: $55.05 Savings: $112.95 annually Even if you only drive 12k miles per year you are saving just in oil/filter costs not to mention the following benefits: - Easier cold-temp starting - Improved fuel economy over time - Cleaner running engine - Cooler running temps - Should experience more power/throttle response - Less engine wear - Longer intervals between changes which means less inconvenience of the car being at the shop

+1 for Amsoil. I've been using them for at least 4 years (annual changes only, drive 12k-15k miles a year). Best stuff! I did a compression test last year around this time, and had around 78k miles on my car. Got 204 psi (give or take 2 psi) for each cylinder.
