Amsoil 0W-20 Hybrid Oil. Initial drain and fill at 1.1k then at 5k. Will continue with 5k oil change intervals. Would really like to use 0W-30 but will wait after warranty is up.
What 0w16 are you using in your newer toyota?

Well if I still had a Toyota I would be using 0W-20 or 5W-30.
Using 0W30 Euro LX in my A25. Yes the engine still makes odd DI noises on and off but when they are off it doesn’t sound like a diesel chattering away anymore. Might be a slight increase of fuel use during startup, but otherwise still returning fantastic fuel efficiency numbers when the thing is good and warmed up.
Just like in other cars I’ve used it in, the Euro LX quiets down valve-train noise while both stone cold and fully warmed up.

Oil changes with Mobil 1 0W-16 every 5,000 miles, on my Toyota Hybrid.
List of all the oil used in the Toyota so far. I cannot tell a difference with any of it. Not even with MPG going up or down in viscosity. Price, availability and performance are all I care about…
TGMO 0W16
VL AVD 0W16
PP 0W16
M1 AFE 0W16
PP 0W20
Nearly at 75K miles on mostly 16.

Are you going to continue to run 0W16 while out of warranty?
I find that my toyota like Castrol over M1 as well. Get better MPG as well
77K - been out for a while. Maybe.
Typo on Toyota's 755 of Moly?
. Is rather HIGH .I think they're known for having high moly in their oils.
Looks to be HIGH amount for MOLY for the TOTOYA Genuine 0w-2-0 ( S.P.) . So , the NORM .
U.O.A.s' .
These can be found here .
Lots of people are wondering if they can use other oil instead of 0w16, since the owner's manual pushes so hard for 0w16. I found a post somewhere on the internet where someone said in other countries the Toyota manual lists other viscosities. I found where in Australia (Toyota Camry Hybrid) you can use other viscosities. It appears it is same engine too, so I think the push for 0w16 is simply a CAFE push.

"SAE OW-16 is filled into your Toyota vehicle at manufacturing, and the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If you use SAE 10W-30 or a higher viscosity engine oil in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE 0W-16, 0W-20, 5W-20 or 5W-30 engine oil is recommended."

Lots of 16s
I have 7500 miles and a little over 4 months on a Toyota cross hybrid. I still have factory fill! Not worried about it, I’ve been here before, I will take the first two free oil changes at 10k intervals and then I will start experimenting. I will probably continue using 0w16 and or 0w20 when I start changing it myself. After warranty, due to the way I am stacking miles I may try HPL or Amsoil for 20k mile intervals confirming that with Used oil analysis.
Has anyone had an issue with Toyota denying a warranty from using 0w20 in place of the 16?

My 2019 manual says 0w-20 can be used if 16 isn't available. What does your manual say?
