Have you looked at your oil fill cap? It should tell you what type of oil to use. I have a 2002 Echo 1.5l and mine says 5w-30. I also have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe and it has a Toyota engine 1.8l that is slightly bigger than the 1.5lmotor in our Echo and it also takes 5w-30. I think you would be safe using 5w-30; however, I would look at your oil fill cap.

Hey alanacheson,
The spark plugs are underneath that cover on top of the engine (should say VVTi on the cover).
Just take that cover off, and then you will see the four ignition coils. Take off the four ignition coils (with igniters), and you will see the four relatively long holes underneath, and the spark plugs are at the bottom of those holes. You will need a good spark plug socket (preferably a thin wall socket) and a 6" or 12" extension. This is actually a very easy job, and can be completed in less than an hour.
Hope this helps.
SOURCE: how to change the oil and oil filter on my echo
Toyota recommends 5W-30 and if you look closely you should see it printed on the oil filler cap itself. I have been changing my own oil like over 25 years and equally important if you want to keep your Toyota Echo engine in good running condition is hidden under a silver cowl that has like 10mm bolts you need to unfasten this metal cover on order to get a oil filter wrench on the actual oil filter. By the way, hopefully you are replacing it with a genuine Toyota oil filter as they are relatively inexpensive like $3 to $5 and removal counterclockwise is probably the most difficult part of an oil change, besides dumping the dirty oil into a container and cleanup to me is the filthiest part- but hey you saved like at least $10 or more by Doing It Yourself...
Hope the Above Info Helps!

5w30 weight Oil is reccomended for most temperatures for your vehicle. You will use just a little under 4 quarts of oil to achieve a proper reading on your oil dipstick.
