no, but pour point cant be higher than the CCS or MRV test temperatures...
I suspect it is formulated similar to TGMO 0w-20, which was extremely light Group III based with a big slug of dimer (not trimer) moly and a lot of VII (hence the high VI). Mobil blends their own oils using trimer, while complementing it with organic FM's and AW additives which Molakule suspected were borated compounds, which apparently Mobil is quite fond of.Thanks for the VOA. Aside from the moly, is there any reason to pay extra for this oil over the mostly PAO Mobil 1 0W-16?
Question. Are you really concerned about warranty issues with this particular vehicle ?This is interesting in that Toyota is actually dictating ExxonMobil how to blend TGMO 0W-16—high moly, high boron, and high phosphorus—the three things Toyota believe in.
It would be interesting to know the oxidation value to see if POE is still present as in their previous 0W-20 formulations, which was unusual for ExxonMobil-made ILSAC oils.
You won't go wrong with it if you have your oil changed at the dealer. I am glad to know that I I have a stout 0W-16 in my Prius Prime. I am getting my second oil change on Friday, with vehicle almost at 17,000 miles as of now.
I assume because your assuming the dealer uses TGMO? Most dealers get crap out of a barrel from whomever is cheapest - Toyota dealers included. If you really want TGMO then you should do it yourself.You won't go wrong with it if you have your oil changed at the dealer
Maybe it is a regional thing, but all of the dealers here use TGMO for the Toyotacare services due to the incentives and reimbursement program. Customer pay can be different.I assume because your assuming the dealer uses TGMO? Most dealers get crap out of a barrel from whomever is cheapest - Toyota dealers included.

Yes, I ensure that we the service advisor.I assume because your assuming the dealer uses TGMO? Most dealers get crap out of a barrel from whomever is cheapest - Toyota dealers included. If you really want TGMO then you should do it yourself.
SAE J300 and HTHS (measured at 10⁶ s⁻¹) are obsolete useless.Question. Are you really concerned about warranty issues with this particular vehicle ?
Question #2. Most of your driving is Paramount <> campus, I do believe. With a PHEV, I would suggest HPL PP 0W8 and extended OCIs. Why not ?

Interesting that Toyota is using high dose Boron. Many others go for very high dose Magnesium.Yes, I ensure that we the service advisor.
Literally high magnesium?? Why would anyone do that? That would increase the TAN and wear. You want a modest amount of magnesium with a somewhat larger amount of calcium that passes the LSPI tests. Magnesium is good for TBN retention but not good neutralizing all types of acids like calcium is, which would increase the TAN and hence the wear. So, a good balance of both calcium and magnesium is necessary.Interesting that Toyota is using high dose Boron. Many others go for very high dose Magnesium.
The part numbers are the same, but https://parts.toyota.com/ no longer sells oil and oil filters because Toyota does not want you to do do-it-yourself oil changes.Does anyone know the Toyota part number for their 0W-16? Searches for 00279-16QTE show up as discontinued with no new part number listed.
00279-16QTE-01 MSRP $8.15 (bottled quart)
00279-16QTE MSRP $48.90 (six-pack-case bottled quart)
00279-BLK16-01 MSRP $5.06 (bulk quart)
90915-YZZN1 MSRP $5.69 (oil filter)
90430-12031 MSRP $1.16 (oil drain-plug gasket)
Autonation has something similar. Be careful, they don’t always use OE filters and the correct oil for those programs. I would ask questions.I found out that the dealer is participating in a program called AdvantageCARE, which is a $50 oil change + tire rotation + multipoint inspection deal if you purchase three sets in advance. I will do this because doing oil changes once a year and tire rotations twice a year would cost more than that, and I don't have to worry about going over 10k miles in a year and moving my service dates to earlier. Moreover, I found out that fresh oil has a lot better fuel economy than used oil; so, you save money on gasoline by keeping your oil more fresh, too. Interestingly, many dealers are participating in this AdvantageCARE or AdvantageCARE program, including Honda, Nissan, Ford, etc. dealers.
Really? I need to check on that then.Autonation has something similar. Be careful, they don’t always use OE filters and the correct oil for those programs. I would ask questions.
