The bottom line is that someone using Mobil 1, Valvoline or any other oil and who also does regular oil changes and doesn't beat the crap out of the car will be able to drive it until the thing falls apart. Who cares if my 200K engine has slightly more wear than someone else's 200k engine. The thing has served its purpose and it's time to get a new car!

And please... like you didn't know your post would stir things up?

I probably should keep my nose out of it, but if you want to talk about stirring things up that'd be Silk's little fanboi Silver. Probably 70%-80% of his postings is to jump on Silk's postings with personal insults, the rest being reserved to telling Yaris owners to run 0w-20 in their cars, eventho' the Toyota TSB absolutely states that 0w-20 isn't to be used in the Yaris. That's bad and potentially very costly advice he's handing out. I don't have any problems with Silky.
