Engine Oil - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi Guys,

have anyone tried the Motul Engine Oil Semi Synthetic?

If yes, what kind of Motul semi synthetic oil have you used?

because I am planning to move from regular oil to semi synthetic oil and was told that Motul is a great engine oil to move to, and I just wanted to hear your thoughts before going to that direction.

thanks!

I've always thought Motul was for motorcycles(wet clutch). Toyotas really dont need synthetic oil, because there sooo well designed. I'm running synthetic in my Yaris because I can get it at Walmart for really cheap(about $5.40 per quart). I know in other parts of the world, oil is costly, and if I lived there, I would not use synthetic(in a Toyota).
My motorcycles all run synthetic, mainly because I beat them hard!

some say that once you use fully synthetic, you can change oil in a yearly basis not unlike with the regular per 5k km or miles. I am not that sure for the others who already have experience with performance oil if it does give out benefits or just to say that I am running fully synthetic and I am racing with it... just saying..
