My vehicle in question is a 2017 C-Max Energi plug in hybrid PHEV. Driving even five miles per day on gasoline power is rare. Assuming that I keep it that way, would any of you more esteemed members run a 0W-16 oil in that engine? Obviously I can keep the driving conditions conservative if need be.
My wife and I use a 2017 Prius V for road trips and I believe that car is spec'd for 0W-16 in Japan for nearly a decade. I could switch that vehicle to 0W-16, but it might endure many hours of 70-80 MPH driving on road trips. Just wondering where or if to try a thinner oil. Any thoughts?
