How would this fare in all this discussion, I am here in the desert environment hard driving, usual runs are 100kmh-120/140kmh on say 60-70kms a day and it may still be cool now 14-20C but it could shoot up to 35-40C in just a couple of weeks more.

Just got e-mail from Toyota executive office in California saying that 5w-20 will be allowed for the Yaris . Sent them the T.S.B. EG018-06 and has been confirmed . Now have approval from the service center where the '08 sedan was purchased and the executive office . Will come in play if any warranty issues should occur when using the 5w-20 . May stick with the 5w-20 at all times . If so , will post an used oil analysis after a few runs of it . That will probably be later in the year ( December ) .

Just for laughs, I recently looked up on Pennzoil's website what the recommended oil for my 07 Yaris is. They say 5W20. Then I looked it up on Kendall's and they also say 5w20.

WHats your owners manual say?

My first post will be bring back this old thread. I just changed to Mobil1 10/30 wt. and my 08 is running smoother and has less clatter when cold. It had Toyota 5/30 wt.

I've never bought into the whole water like oil fad. I feel the auto makers are sacrificing our engines for a little bit better mpg. They are clearly under the C.A.R.B. Gun.

JFYI.
