I Might, but not in the winter or when its raining.
Actually, I just drove there, I am a terrible judge of distance. Its only 1.2 miles. I'll save $125 per month in gas.
I ask about the filter because I have seen some reports about media tearing on the Purolator filter.
I did not think about the oil. I do not believe that the Yaris is spec for 20 weight. But the short distance is a concern. I do plan to drive the car on the highway occasionally, once or twice a month.
With that said, would Mobil 1 Extended Performance be a better choice than Mobil 1? Would the additives in EP protect the motor better in my situation?
IMO, the Toyota Motor is much more durable than the Hyundai or the Honda in this type of driving. The Ranger is my toy and averages less than 500 miles per year.
