Oil for 2025 hybrid Camry

[luckystryke]

This guy can tell you more about that oil @edyvw .
What I can tell you—the oil contains PAO, GTL, and ester. It has good amount of ZDDP too. And it has a few German car approvals:
ACEA C5 and C6
MB 229.7
Porsche C20
VW 508 00 and 509 00

Is that the esp x2?

 

[Japanese]

Yes, the ESP x2 0W-20.

I'd probably go with the Restore and Protect 0w-20 or the Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30. My concern would be motor not getting to temperature, possible ring deposits, the constant start/stops.

Get away from the 16 or 20 weights. There are a few choices. For the money, the 0W-30, not the 5W-30 Mobil 1 ESP is blended with the better base stocks than I believe most similar priced oils on the shelf at your local Walmart or parts stores. The Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP is your best bet quality and price wise right now. Otherwise, there are boutique oils available of much higher cost per quart with much higher quality formulations. The problem with that is whether you pay $8.00 a quart or $20.00 a quart, the oil and filter should be replaced every 6 months or 5000 miles mainly due to the fuel dilution issue, low tension piston rings, etc.., etc. I will put some links here for you to look at.

daily driver and about 60 miles per day 5 days a week, country roads/highway

That seems to be an ideal case for OCIs of 10k or more. I've run a couple of 12k OCIs using M1 EP in both a Honda and Volvo and the UOAs always came back looking good. I have no experience with M1 ESP but you could try using the advanced search function to look at other people's experiences.

That being said I would base the decision on used oil analysis and not advice from strangers on the internet.

Yes, the ESP x2 0W-20.

This is what I am running in my wife's 26 Highlander hybrid with a Carquest Premium filter.

These are all great oils but I think for a hybrid 0W-20 would be perfectly fine even for 7,500 miles, especially the ESP oil.
The 0W-30 is rated for 12,000 miles. So, its little brother 0W-20 would be more than fine in a hybrid for 5,000 to 7,500, or even 10,000 miles.
