Poll: Which FULLy synthetic oil do you use? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yawesh · 01-19-2009, 03:44 PM

for those who use fully synthetic oil for their engines

i am now using Royal Purple after my factory break in oil (changed at 5100k)

ChinoCharles · 01-19-2009, 04:35 PM

I use Royal Purple because the hillbillies that live amongst me swear by it and if there is one thing I know it is that hillbillies love their engines. Doesn't hurt that its a track staple around here, too.

Well, then you need to remove one of the options you have there because I know several YW members use Amsoil.

Amsoil 0W-30 Signature Series FTW!!

I'd buy Amsoil if it were more readily available through retail outlets.

BTW, wth is Vavloline?

Are you trying to piss off SilkySmooth?

Doc Zaius · 01-19-2009, 05:38 PM

Amsoil!

CB900F2 · 01-19-2009, 08:22 PM

Amsoil 5W30 (ASL) with EAO OIl Filter.

Klink10 · 01-19-2009, 08:33 PM

Amsoil 5W-30 XL changed between 4000-5000 mi. usually at 4500.

Klink10 · 01-19-2009, 09:56 PM

I wouldn't worry about it....just count the number of posters who write in AMSOIL.

YarisSedan · 01-19-2009, 10:45 PM

Amsoil high performance oil with K&N filter

yarstar · 01-19-2009, 10:50 PM

For those out there that think Mobil 1 is the best on the market, you need to do your research. Valvoline was running national ad campaigns claiming that there full synthetic oil provided 4x better protection than Mobil 1. Mobil 1 sued and their case was thrown out when Valvoline showed up in court with the independent lab tests showing the results. They also did more testing and found that the current Mobil 1 formulation does not meet the minimum API SM or ILSAC GF-4 specifications either. Seems they have been resting on their laurels and got behind the rest of the industry. I love it. I have the letter right here in front of me.

i've used mobile on two changes, and castrol on one change.... didn't really see any change in mpg's.... MAYBE 1mpg...hard to tell.
