For those who use Synthetic oil - Toyota Yaris Forums

someone earlier mentioned the filter is just as important as the oil. i just changed the wife's yaris with pennzoil platinum 5w-30 and a mobil1 'extended performance' filter. i know the platinum is good stuff, but are the mobil1 filters any good(i would hope so as the filter retailed for 12.99 at autozone, but i got a deal for 5 quarts pp and mobil1 filter for 27.99)? i'm hoping this combination will get me 7500-10,000 miles as i'm already out of warranty(i normally change every 5000-6000, but i figure the fancy filter and full synthetic will help extend that).
