0w-8 in the new non US Yaris hybrid

[kschachn]

Gasp….yes.

If the Internet says so then who am I to disagree?

The film thickness is more important than the viscousity, this is the part that RnD on 0W-8 had achieved.

Film thickness is tied to the viscosity.

Off course, but it depends on the additives and type of oil too.

You mean additives that mitigate wear? If so, that's the "film strength" (AF/AW package), not the film thickness. They are different things.
