Prius C w/ 1.5 ltr. engine ( 1NZ-FXE ) uses 0w-20 ; Why not the
1NZ-FE of the YARIS ? . Here's the specs for the Prius C listing the 0w-20 , http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/docum...df/sec_6-1.pdf . Some owners of the "C" are claiming 60+ m.p.g. at Priuschat.com . http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-c-...rted-mpgs.html . May have to trade in the '11 Fit for it .

The Prius C looks really tempting, have to check priuschat to see what "normal" owners are getting for real-world numbers...

From what I've read, it has to do with the seals on the older engines, like ours. Supposedly at high temperatures our seals could potentially allow some weeping with the super thin oil.

Thanks . Why is the 0w-20 allowed for all years of the YARIS in Canada ? The engines are the same and the climate here in the N.E. is quite the same as in many areas of Canada ? Makes no sense .
