I bought a 2008 toyota yaris for $5.5k on fb marketplace. Had a prepurchase inspection.\n\nI love that car for the exact reasons you mentioned. It\u2019s been with me everywhere ive gone, is super cheap on gas, and just requires oil changes every 8000 km.
It has helped the valve tick in my 150k mile Yaris
My 2009 1.33 likes both 5w30 (or 0w30) and 0w20. Out of the factory they came with 5w30, but toyota later recommended the switch with the 1.33 engine. With normal use and lower speeds 0w20 is best, if you drive a lot at higher rpms than 5w30 would be better (at130kmu/3200rpm 5w30 is smoother).
I've personally run Mobile 1 full synthetic for 10k intervals ever since the factory oil changes ran out without issues.
I'm using amsoil 5w30. Great product. Real synthetic. Superior protection.
Just change it.
I have a Yaris with 300,000 miles on it. All I use is conventional 5-30 Valvoline.
