Yeah I'm done here, this thread is pretty useless.

Post #30 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/motul-hybrid-0w-8-voa-or-uoa.387948/page-2#post-7031153 Read the thread before you chime in next time... Clearly if you go outside of the manufacturer's requirements they're not going to warranty it. By your logic you can run 10w60 and when...

Holy moly that's nuts, glad it's working out well for you. M1 would be cheaper but it's not available here yet.

No worries, but it does suck because we lack a lot of the excellent consumer protections found in the US. I don't even think all of Canada has lemon laws (I think it's only Quebec)... So you can see how some of us can potentially get absolutely shafted. So I try not to eff about with warranty so...

Thanks, and yeah let's hope in never have to use the warranty. I don't have mobil1 here but I'll assume motul is just as good, typically with the 40 weight stuff on my m2 it seems to be excellent. Just curious, was it a mistake or did you actually mean to write 30k mile oci on the Corolla...

You do realize I'm Canadian right? We don't have states here, and the magneson moss law is also American only.

You do realize it's not easy to claim warranty right? Dealerships are always hesitant to just repair things right away because they don't want to get in trouble with the corporate for warranty abuse. So it's always a hassle getting warranty work done. For those of you guys acting super tough...

You do realize arbitration works differently oe to OE right? For brands that deal directly with corporate that sends down engineers for inspections the chance they changed their mind on a ruling is slim to none. What comes after that? Litigation, and the chance you win against a billion dollar...

Meh at the end of ths day I suspected an oil forum would be more useful seeing that members are supposed to be oil enthusiasts. Instead it's typically forum behavior where people don't understand the context of the thread and comment whatever they want based on personal feelings. As I have...

I'm not sure what dealers you've been doing it with. But for me whenever there's a major issue you don't deal with the dealer, you deal directly with corporate, and they want ever bit of service record you have. That's how they find out exactly what oil you've been using. With super high end...

I realize that a higher hths offers more protection, there's a reason why I use 5w40 instead of 0w30 after the warranty period on my m2 that I track. But to avoid warranty issues I want to keep things done by the book for my brand Lexus. You do realize the only approved grade in NA is jaso...

Really so if an OE specifies one thing and you go off on your own and do random crap, you think they have no grounds to void a warranty?

You do realize warranty is region specific right?

You do realize it doesn't help with warranty right?

No, that's what happens when you have forum members jump onto threads and not understand the context of the thread. I guess that's what happens when it's been awhile since someone has had a new car.

Incorrect, the dealer actually has 0w-8 in stock so they'll use what is specified by Toyota. Dealers aren't going to risk dealer status by doing random crap, they're an extension of the OEM so they have to do things by the book.

You do realize the table is comparing operating temperatures of weights right? But the stipulation of oil choice is in the text? Like I said before that is out of the scope of my thread - because I need warranty complaint oil for my car.

You do realize I understand the reason why oils are getting thinner is for fuel economy/ emissions standards right? And it also helps hybrid activity where the engine stops for extended periods of time and has to immediately restart, you do realize a 30 and 40 weight can't tolerate that right...

Not sure why you're using a dealers website which more often than not gets stuff wrong. Use data directly from the source aka lexus.ca or lexus.com. and you'll see the ux300h is brand new for 2025 and never existed before hand. The ux250h is also down 15-16 HP and a lot of torque. Also when...

I don't know where you got the spec sheet for the "2024 ux 300h" from, but it's completely wrong. Because the ux300h didn't exist until the 2025 model year... Regardless oil specifications are explicitly changed in the owners manual, and even if engines were 100% IDENTICAL, it wouldn't matter...
