royal purple oil - Toyota Yaris Forums

Red Horse · 10-14-2009, 03:43 PM

I used the royal purple before and switch to amsoil but now its getting expensive, so I switch again to pensoil platinum, I think pensoil has the cheapest syntetic oil out there.

I bought the Yaris for its economy so running top of the line oil would be overkill to a car that was designed with economy in mind,i usually use
Castrol GTX 5w-30 in the summer and Mobil1 0w-30 in winter. i'd say save your money on the oil if you plan on doing normal everyday driving.

not sure about 'cheapest', but definetely one of the best! i've been using it in both our yaris and have been very happy with it. gets great feedback and used oil analysis from bob is the oil guy(5w-30 anyways). nothing against amsoil or royal purple, but not sure if they're worth the extra coin over the pennzoil.

In the summer, I use 2qts of synthetic and 2qts of conventional oil. It doesn't matter which brand, just as long as it is a brand name. And in the winter, I use 3qts of synthetic and 1qt of conventional. Once again, the brand doesn't matter as long as it's a household name. I'm a huge fan of Purolator PureOne filters, but if I can get a hold of those, I use the FRAM Tough Guard.
