If thin oils are bad then Toyota is stupid?

What model and year is that manual?
Why would that be all Toyota cares about? Makes no sense. Of course Toyota wants to known for long-lasting vehicles.
Yes thats why JASO GLV-2 is coming.

SAE 0 would need to be defined first, as it doesn't exist in J300.
I will say that we just had a new Camry as a rental. I could not be more disappointed and would not put my kids in it!
It eels like it could blow apart if the passenger farted! But that's to be expected with these little throw away cars...
Back to the point though, the car had the 0-8 and the motor was begging for different oil... The car had less than 15k mi and it sounded like a 100k mi 4cyl from the early 80's. I have never in my life witnessed that type of vibration, engine noise and just noise overall horrible performance from even a 10 year old, 100k mi 4cyl... Very disappointing, but also verified a concern!

Makes sense. First SAE 4 needs to be defined which I am pretty sure it's being worked on and maybe SAE 0 thereafter, who knows!
In my 2022 camry, but its in later models as well from what I understand
Not only that but kicked, beat, cooked, fried, sliced, diced, and then beat again.
OP is getting a good run out of his second thick-vs-thin thread.
I got played like a second hand guitar in several of his threads already…..
In the unholy quest to get that cafe number a hundredth higher? Absolutely.
There are plenty of engines running 5W30 that wouldn’t make 400K miles. Oil is only part of the equation.
Those owners manuals seem to refer to 'best fuel economy' as main reason for thinner oil, some little older manuals also mentioned that if vehicle is driven hard (high speeds or mountains etc) or tows it'd be better to use a little thicker oil. So, oil film thickness makes difference, too thin or too thick oil make little sense to use. Since due to C.A.F.E. manufacturers recommend the thinnest oil engine can reliably run on, a little thicker oil will never hurt and will benefit engine's longevity; I mean a grade higher e.g. 5w-30 vs 5w-20 or so.
That's me all day.
Or they are trying to sell more cars. The proof in my eyes will be when I see the first Toyota run on 0W-08 that reaches over 500 miles!
And there you have it. A "thicker" oil is not going to grenade the engine, not flow into "tighter tolerances," or in extreme cold. I'm just regurgitating nonsense I read here from time to time. It's also amusing when a new member, [the OP] knows exactly how to stir the pot here.
