Yeah, if the 10W-40 was blended with like a 4 or 5cSt Group I and Mobil was blended with 8cSt PAO, that would have been a very truthful statement.
5W-30 instead of 0W-20 for 2016 Toyota Camry 2.5 Hybrid

Folks here repeat the old saw that hybrids stop and start often, therefore needs thinner oil to combat cold startups. Come on guys my experience with my hybrid completely negates that argument. The oil, other than cold startup of course, doesn't stay off long enough to cool down. I suppose if you are on a 10 mile down grade that might be the exception.

No proof 5w30 protects better than 0w20 that would mean vehicles running 0w20 would be self destructing all over
What nonsense.
An engine needn't self destruct to show lesser protection. It may show more wear but not enough to manifest in catastrophic results, or even be significant.
Those here who try to make a point, one way or another, by using hyperbole and extreme or exaggerated examples, might do well to educate themselves and learn to argue intelligently.

I’m still not sold
One can deny physics all you wish but it’s still a correct statement. Increased film thickness reduces wear and multiple discussions with data have been posted here. Being new you may have missed those posts.
Nobody is trying to sell you anything.
It's a discussion forum and several members provided very well thought out and articulate posts, while all you have is one liners.
