I am running Royal Purple 5W-30 and Wix filter in mine. Seems to be doing real well and runs alot smoother and quieter.

I use mobile 1 synthetic 0w20 oil in my yaris since my first oil change. I live near the coldest city in North America and my yaris seems to be quite happy with the thin oil at start up. This morning it was -32 F when I turned the key and it came right to life..
After switching to this grade oil I noticed a 3mpg increase in gas mileage. Now, if I could only get some good heat in the cabin.. |

Got it, schroom, the Fam is getting silly. Sis is kicked off because the site is "too technical" with not enough Trance and Disco discussions .... and .... she didn't get any marriage offers. Maybe if she would shave ANYWHERE once in a while she might have some luck

There is no way in hell you spun a bearing due to the change from 5-30 to 5-20. Try putting some oil in the car.....

I have the TSB in front of me and it says that the Yaris engine can use the 20 weight. So where is the confusion? Where is the ambiguity? It's very, very clear. If you have a Yaris, you can use 20 weight safely, and Toyota is behind what I wrote. And if you look at the AMSOIL site (and Mobil1 too), you too will see that their 0w-20 can be used in ANY MOTOR that is spec'd for 5w-20. Safely. So is your beloved AMSOIL wrong? Not! |

the day I see 5w-20 stamped on the oil cap of an YARIS is when I'll consider using a 20 weight . Has to be same engine as the '07 > '09s .

I apologize for the acuteness of the post but let's be real. I mean, that was/ is a blatant lie. There is a much, much highter liklihood that the oil pan was dry and he spun a bearing than he did from using 20wt. I hate when people blatantly lie like that and try to whip up everybody in a frenzy. |

And they are wrong when their statements clash with Toyota's TSB guidelines, and still have to wonder why you're soooo worried about 0w-20 when you live in southern Ca that wouldn't know what a real winter was. |

And iirc, not stated on the Toyota TSB either. SilverGlow likes to juggle those TSB viscosity numbers, and the Scion XD and Yaris motors to his own liking and start handing out those recommendations, even though what he says won't be found anywhere on Toyota's TSB. Bad and dangerous, and ignorant advice, if you ask me.

I am not going to say that I am right or wrong but I can't see any reason WHY somebody would want to run the 0-20. I mean, clearly the 5-30 is the best all around choice and I could even see 5-20 for some I guess but I am confused as to why somebody wants to run the 0wt.
