Toyota 0w-20 synthetic is very good oil from MOBIL .

Then this is the EXACT oil I will use when I change it. Question: I have 492 miles thus far. I know that building engines is a lot "cleaner" these days, with fewer microscopic metal particles bouncing around and all...but when do I change my oil to not only get rid of most of these little eroding particles, but also switch to synthetic?

Yes. I have done the "search", read the threads, and my manual. I value YOUR opinion, Hershey. That is why I am asking you.

I am averaging 28.8 mpg, mostly city, very little (15% highway). Last fill-up was 34.8mpg combined, only 492 on the odo as of last night.

Also: anyone see these ga$ price$ climbing? I bought my Yaris just before the sh!t is gonna hit the fan (again, like in 2008), with the "market adjustment" (READ: gouging) fee on economy cars from the dealers of $1-2k over sticker because it doesn't get 15mpg (like back in '08, Priuii were going $3k OVER sticker where I live--and people were paying it!!!)

If you are gonna buy a Yaris--do it now before Armageddon!
