$86.44 for oil change? I feel screwed - Toyota Yaris Forums

I wonder whether behour needs synthetic oil. If Mo stands for Missouri (where it doesn't get very cold), and the OP is changing his/her oil every 5 thousand miles, why pay extra for synthetic oil over dino oil? The Yaris engine doesn't need it, does it?

I'm sure the engine doesn't "need" synthetic, but it can't hurt...

All modern engines do better with synthetic oil. The difference might not be great, but it is there.
