No dudes, even the best synthetic WILL NOT give you noticably better MPG, nor power, nor response...these claims are bullsheet....but don't get me wrong, Synthetic is the best oil for your Yaris and will allow the engine to wear slower...but these other claims are pure BS....I've read many control studies and I've never seen any proof that synthetic oil will give more then neglibigle power improvements, and more MPG....never believe these claims as they're all wrong.

You are wrong, a more efficient motor will increase the MPG and WHP
