In all seriousness, why not 0w-20?
This Topic has already been discussed ad nauseum.

New 2023 Corolla and 0W-8 oil
So I just bought a gas 2023 Corolla with the 2.0 as a commuter. Toyota calls for 0W-8 oil for this. I’m fairly certain they made a change within the last month or so from 0W-16. I do my own oil changes and sourcing OW-8 seems about impossible. The manual does say you can use 0W-16 but it must be...

note: The one thing I noticed on VOA was the TGMO in the light grades have abundant moly.
I would stick exclusively with that option if it was my car.

Yeah it is fine.
0W16 & 0W20 would be cheaper and easier to find if that matters to you.

As ARCOgraphite pointed out, this has already been beaten to death in another thread.
If, after reading that whole thread, the OP can't make his mind up one way or another, well, this thread isn't going to improve the odds ...
Let's just let this thread die of natural causes, please.

You don't read the Owners Manual for their recommendations?
Engine compartments sometimes gets incorrect stickers, toppings......etc. Oil caps that read the wrong viscosity and dipsticks lengths are common mistakes in engine factories.
Did any Toyota engine guru ever express his opinion publicly, that the engine would be harmed using 0w16/20 fulltime instead?
If I have my way and convince my wife, by the end of the 2023 we will own a pair of 0w8 Toyotas. I will run the watery oil for 3k.
Afterwards?...... I dunno until I investigate the merits of continued use of 0w8 with Toyota Inc. The only merits I'm expecting is a fraction of improved MPG.... less than a single MPG improvement.
If I want to abide by CAFE, I'll visit one for dinner and have the chef recommend a nice plate on the Menu.

Why not 10w30?
Tolerances are too tight for that.

Wow - that 2.0 is one of Toyota's best engines. No GDI and no turbos.
That engine also works inside the Corolla Cross and the RAV-4...... both vehicles I want.
Yippeee.... I want a pair when my Korean-loving, stubborn wife grows up.

Still a DI motor and then backed by a CVT.
its actually both DI and Port injected?
might want to include a /sarcasm for the new people since the OP signed up today.
I'm betting the moly is for the timing chains
Do these have the variable oil pump like the 2.5 in the Camry/Rav's that require 0w16? Might want to think twice before deviating from what the OEM recommends...
Yes, not very BITOG like, but something to think of.
