Intermittent low oil pressure light. - Toyota Yaris Forums

I would not run a high efficiency filter on this car in the winter - the wix 51396 (camry) unit fixed all sorts of VVTi and engine noise issues. Also be aware that certain PAO based oils are sensitive to ethanol dilution. I had to change my Mobil 1 0w3-0 after 2700 mile due to severe loss of viscosity - and I dont do short trips.

Which PAO based oils? And do you have a reference for this?
