My car is "recommended for 0w8" I've been using 0W20 so far, I was considering Mobil 1 0w30 and I know there are two options. Mobil 1 0w30 advanced fuel economy and Mobil 1 ESP 0W30. From everything I've seen on these forums the ESP formula seems to be the "better" oil, however the ESP formula doesn't have all of the certs that the advanced fuel economy version has and is said to be a European formula. The vehicle in question is a 2024 Corolla with the 2.0 engine. I am not concerned about warranty requirements, rather the best protection and longevity. The Climate is eastern Washington state, a full four seasons area hot and cold. Any and all opinions are appreciated, thanks.

Amsoil SS 0w-20 would be a best good choice for extended oci, or Pennzoil Ultra-Platinum, the 0w-20 probably best wt. oil for your climate and viscosity situation, even HPl premium another excellent choice too. Or go to Walmart and check on Valvoline EP or Royal Purple is a fine choice. using proper oci and good filter, depending on where you are driving, city stop and go vs highway.

why?
 
Here's what the rest of the world uses.

You can definitely use that as it's allowed but I think it'll be fine with no more than a 0w-20. The best locally available 0w-20's are M1 ESP 0w-20, Castrol edge euro 0w-20 and both castrol and mobil extended performance 0w-20. They can all be ordered from Walmart with free shipping.

But you could use supertech 0w-20 and it'll be golden. I just wouldn't do 10k intervals with supertech or any other regular 0w-20, more like 6-7k max but I would have faith in 10k intervals with those I listed.

Unless you plan on taking this to the track (which is obviously doubtful) you really don’t need a 3.5 HTHS oil in this car.
+1

I don't think the extra hths will provide more meaningful protection in this car thus why I recommend nothing more than a 20 grade but 30 is allowed so it's good to use. It would only have a very small mpg loss. Most 8's are 1.8 hths and most 20's are 2.8 and i think that's enough for it.

this is a US owners manual?
 
There are no “allowed” grades as long as the HT/HS is sufficient to prevent excessive wear. The oil you wish to use is entirely appropriate. It has excellent oxidative stability and will help to prevent deposits. That’s one of the best oils at Walmart at a good price. I use it in everything I own.

Not sure 3.5 HTHS is necessary. ESP 0W30 has most stringent approvals (forget approvals on Advance Fuel Economy 0W30). They are both same grade, but HTHS is what matters.
Now, do you really need that oil? Nothing will happen if you do use, and if it will make your heart warmer and you will sleep better at night, by all means.
But I don't think it is necessary, and if you want to jump in quality, Mobil1 ESP 0W20 is readily available in Walmart.

See my threads.

It is good that Toyota finally got around to recommending what I have been doing for years and 200,000 miles on M20A-FKS, M20A-FXS engines.

How often do you see weather colder than -20? 5W-30 would be a lot easier to find I think at least that's what I've found at my local Wally World.

There are usually only a few days a year when it gets below 0F. I use 5w30 Supertech synthetic year round in two of our other vehicles, maybe I'll just use it in everything.
