Yeah, the first thing I did was an oil change. I put liqui moly 5w-40 in the car and the oil level is top of the dipstick (EDIT: within the max/min level on the dipstick, top of max, I should specify). I put a Mahle filter in there as well.
I run Castrol Edge 5W-30 with Mahle filters and no stabilazers since I don\u2019t trust that bullshit. Changes every 10,000km and she\u2019s still running beautifully with 205,000km on the clock
When I worked at Scarb.Lexus Toyota I remember the oil filters were definitely a different world of change from the filters you pick up in stores, everything from the seals to the inside filter paper were superior so I always get my filter from the dealer.
Costco brand full synthetic w Toyota filter. Change every 5k or 6 months
I use only genuine Toyota oil filters, you can see and feel the quality, they even come with a pre-lubed "O" ring gasket.
I recently installed this canister in my 24v VR6: Better anti-drain back valve in it.
This Yaris basically ruined me WRT engines/serviceability. It has a tiny engine bay yet nothing is in the way of anything else, there's plenty of room to work and you can change the battery or a headlight bulb in a couple minutes. I mean, look how the oil filter is just right there under the 2nd intake runner (and pointing down). That's the starter next to the oil filter, comes out with two bolts.
Original Toyota is the only way to go, try one, you can see and feel the quality difference, they even come with an "o" ring instead of the flat gasket others use and it is PRE-LUBED!

I'm currently running a Mahle OC75 filter, its easier to get from Amazon, and it is only slightly longer. I go back and forth between 15W50 in the winter and 20W50 in the warmer months. The 15W is synthetic and 20W isn't.
