Thats a hard itch not to scratch. Personally, I always regret switching from somthing that's always worked for me. Plus, what if you have a mishap, you'll always wonder what happened and if switching brands caused it.

i always switch around alot, and i think anything that is $27 dollars and up for 5 quarts is good oil. Correct me if i'm wrong anyone

I had tried all other kind, but i'm really not satisfy with it, My girlfriend got a Aveo and her car drove very smooth with some cheap ass oil, but not on my Yaris. |

I had to choose "SOMETHING ELSE THATS MORE EXPENSIVE..." but what I really mean is: "Whatever the Toyota service monkeys put it in it".
Seriously, this is not a high performance engine, it doesn't rev like crazy, it doesn't have forced induction, it hasn't just been blueprinted, expensive oil will not improve it's performance, and Toyota will continue to give a 3Y/100K warranty no matter what freakin oil you use. Nuff said :) |

I've used Mobil 1 for over 20 years.
I first put it in an old Ford with a clickity-clackity 302. The valve clatter disappeared for good. I've driven each of my last four cars over 150,000 miles. No way would I go past the 5,000 mile mark without at least a filter change. |

Due to a recent 1 year long test independant from manufacturers I read. I would say if you change your oil anywhere this side of 10k miles, which most of us do, Mobil 1 is fine. The tested Mobil 1 for a year and Amsoil for a year. Only reason I say Mobil1 is that it is available everywhere. Not a special order or outta your way oil to get.

I dont see a point in using anything less... the motor was so nice to the dyno oil that was in there before, I'd say it could easily run past 7k this change. Next change will be with AMSOIL though |
