I went crazy getting a Lava Red one. Wound up with 2. Gave one to my daughter.I have a Lava red base models 06 with auto trans. The 1.8 is plenty for me, and it is a lot of fun. Gas mileage yet to be determined.My wife likes our Toyota Prius. Gas mileage is pretty good.

Jusy got my 2010 vibe last week. I have a question about oil. My owners manual calls for 5w-30,but the oil fill hole says 5w-20or0w-20. which one should I go by. This is my first time with you. If Iam not on the right page,let me know. 2010 vibe-wayne123.Thank you

Congrats on the purchase. I just bought a new 2009 Vibe. My manual is very consistent about 5W20 oil. All the threads I read on the subject seem to be in agreement.

My manual on page 9-9 insdicates that you should use 5w-20 for both the 1.8 and 2.4. On the engine it says 5w-20 or 0w-20.This is the first I have noticed that the battery is a Toyota brand manufactured by Johnson Controls and is only 365 cold cranking amps.
