My new Toyota calls for 0W-16 Synthetic. The difference between 16 viscosity when hot
and 20 viscosity when hot can not be much. Is this just another scam by a car manufacturer
to get us to purchase oil changes at a dealership, instead of doing it ourselves? And, is there
any way they can test to see if we put the correct viscosity oil in the engine?

Does it protect any less? Protection has nothing to do with the weight of the oil, protection comes from the composition of the oil. If you live in a climate where the average daily temp is 120 degrees or more, sure, stick with the 5w-30. Normal climate, or Northern Climate, the 5W-20 is a superior option for most vehicles...
Yes, you can put 5-20 into any 5-30 or 0-20 vehicle... this is lube not rocket surgery folks! Your oil filter is really where you should be putting your thoughts about whats good for your engine and what's not.

Difference? There isn't necessarily ANY difference - the rating means it can perform AS that, not that is IS that. Weight is a classification system, not like on a "scale" there are some thicker and some thinner 20 weight oils, a 16 would be one that is on the thinner side. Chances are when you buy a 16 there is a bottle of 20 with the identical oil in it next to it....
THEY ARE TRYING TO GET FUEL NUMBERS DOWN FOR CAFE STANDARDS..... These weights aren't what your engine REQUIRES as much as what they use to appease the EPA. A car that is labeled as 16 is surely an engine designed for 20 or 30 in many cases... They are even thinning transmission fluid to get better economy... and it will kill your trans at 60-100K if you don't change that cooking oil out often. Too thin to hold up, same with motor oil, the thinner they go the more wear you endure...

Yes, it is! Been there about 4x times this week and get no where!!
No one will admit is just a bad engine design, just like the gm 3.6. "burrs in the engine block" really for 8 years straight?
Guess its as bad as GM 3.6. "yea the timing chain is splash lubed, so as soon as you are a hair low on oil shes gonna start to stretch, oh and we have unequal PCV suction on each side of the v6".
Bad as the GM 3.6?? Umm, hate to break it to you but that engine is part of one of the most reliable families of engines ever made by GM. However, even with the earlier 60deg v6 engine when they moved to manufacturing in Asia, Australia, etc there were MANUFACTURING issues that caused things like cam bearing journals to walk out of alignment due to junk metal and improper casting.
FYI EVERY SINGLE engine that is a V configuration with a timing CHAIN and not a belt will have stretch issues. If you wanna buy an engine with a TWELVE FOOT CHAIN spinning in it at thousands of RPMs please understand what you are buying. EVERY single DOHC engine design has more issues than it's OHV counterpart, so there's nothing really special about the 3.6... except for crappy manufacturing in foreiqn countries since early 2000s. MExico was actually doing a great job prior to that. Those Mexican workers do great work.
