How do you deal with the big undertray on the Jetta? Ramps? Or did you " window" it after the first go-round with all those nuts?
New 2023 Corolla and 0W-8 oil

I thought the Totota's were made in Kansas ?
You don't want anything made in Indiana other than corn - even then you don't want that either.
Well, maybe they are better without Subaru-Isuzu building them - but still they be Chilrens of da Coan
I escaped 62 years ago - will you?
With all that fuel dilution they should just have a 100% gasoline sump, and use the PCV as an Injector nozzleEven more fuel can be saved with 0w0, the kerosene.
I remember those zany Moft-Tops form the 60's
It takes higher viscosity hair gel to obtain that high hair MOFT.
There’s a thread on Reddit right now started by a guy who bought a new Toyota Crown and the dealer can’t get 0w-8. According to him the dealer told him just not to drive it until 0w-8 could be found. He said it came with complimentary 24 month maintenance. Were that my vehicle I would be parking it in the dealer’s lot and demanding a rental until they can do a proper oil change. Or (more likely) I would make the dealer do a change with 0w-16 and document that they were unable to provide the ‘required’ oil.
If neither of those worked I would be suing in small claims court for the value of 24 months of maintenance just to harass them.

This is where a complete lack of understanding of how motor oil works is lacking. Just dump some 16 or 20 and go. It's fine.
Just go to Walmart and get a jug of M1 AFE in 0W-16. Sometimes these stories sound too unbelievable.
That's what the Owner's Manual says to do.
You may wish to check what viscosity that engine is speced for in Australia / Europe. It may be speced for as high as 5W-30 in those regions. I believe HTHS is always a determining factor in long term engine wear (Just google HTHS wear graph).

It’s more than that, it’s a complete lack of understanding basic physics as it relates to lubrication.
On the other hand it’s also exactly what the regulations are intended to do.
'23s made up to Feb '23 have 0W16, all '23s after Mar '23 production call for 0W8
Use a 60 grade oil, after all, it will have the least wear as it will have the highest MOFT. Your engine will last considerably longer. Now if fuel economy is a concern you can use a 15W-40. But you will be giving up a considerable amount of engine life. This grade and any thinner grades are only CAFE related and should never be used unless you plan on selling you car before it gets to 50-60,000 miles. Using a 16 grade oil will only be a matter of time before your engine blows up.

If you are worried about warranty, go to dealer have them change it, go home dump it- leave filter and pour in any 20 or 30 weight you want problem solved.
Just maintain it w whatever 16 or 20 weight you want.

No I would just change the oil w 0w16 or 0w20. My time is more valuable than all than nonsense. That's why I said to "Just maintain it w whatever 16 or 20 weight you want."
Guess sarcasm again eludes text
