A nice Elf excellium 5W-30 should do the trick. 3.5L to fill

Grumpy, running 0W-20 in the Yaris will not cause engine death. Why do you write such lies? There are millions of cars that have used 0W-20 for trillions of miles with no issues, none. In fact, Toyota back-spec'd the 2007 Yaris to use 0W-20 oil, and I have never read of an engine failure from this. Ever. And why would Toyota do this for millions of in-warranty cars? If using 0W-20 caused engine death, then Toyota stands to lose millions of dollars on in-warranty repairs.
Also, using 0W-20 will not cause more engine noise over using a heavier grade of oil. Thinner oil means it flows faster, cooler and gets to all the parts faster upon first start up of the day.
