2008Yaris w/ 131000km due for oil change.Conventional or synthetic?Change filter too? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I bought a 2008 Yaris a few months ago. It has 131,000 km and is now due for an oil change. My first oil change since buying this used car.

What type of oil should I use? Conventional or synthetic?

Should I change the oil filter every time I change the oil?

When I had my Automatic 1995 Civic, I just went with the cheapest oil and cheapest oil filter. I don't mind spending more on a pricier type of oil and filter if that means better savings with regard to fuel efficiency.

Right now, PH4967 FRAM EXTRA GUARD® OIL FILTER
at $3.54 seems the cheapest filter.
