If that is the case, it would make sense for the car to ask what viscosity oil is being run. Then it could run a different psi/flow program.

Toyota has homogenized their manuals. They now recommend 0w-8 worldwide for the 2025 year

It’s a 2025 engine. I just wonder about the various things they may have changed to accommodate the thin oil. Variable valve timing, oil pump pressures and things like that. Toyota always seems to speak with forked tongues. You can used 0w-16 for one oil change if you can’t find 0w-8 but you...

So I’m no expert in oils but I’ve learned a little bit over the past few years. I’m trying to reconcile whether my Toyota Camry could safely run 0w-30 motor oil without any detrimental effects of the added viscosity. If I understand correctly 0 weight oil is thicker when cold than 30 weight oil...

I just sold my 2009 VW rabbit with 2.5l. It had 314,000 miles on it. 10k oci’s, 110 average highway miles per day, 5 days a week. The only oil ever used was 0w-40 Mobil 1 European formula.

Here’s mine at 4912 miles, 1st oil change as well.

I noticed that on mine too. I would wait for the engine to warm up and occasionally do an Italian tuneup to keep things clean and the result is a huge cloud of water vapor. It was a bit scary to see the first few times as the engine only has 4000 miles on it now. 25 Camry.

Low tension piston rings and longer OCI’s

Good to know they’re working on it!

My new 2025 Toyota Camry is a 2.5 L hybrid and calls for 0W-8 GLV-1 oil. My wife takes it for many short trips(5 miles each way to work and 2 miles each way to supermarket with occasional once monthly hour long trips). I already ordered Amsoil 0w-8 for the first 5,000 mile oil change. I will...

I’m liking my set on a Chevy Malibu. They’re really excellent in all conditions for a standard sedan. I’ve had them for over a year now. Unsure how many miles off the top of my head.
