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.

QSUD for $.97 after rebate is a better deal

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

That would be a good deal if it were a true synthetic(group 4 or 5), instead of a hydro cracked group 2~3.

Still most likely good oil.

+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.
