lol, 0w-16... to get an extra 0.1% MPG, it is worth it? this is entirely for CAFE requiremnts.
keep in mind the NONE US Camry, like the Austra, that runs the same 2AR-FE engine, recommend 0W-20, 5W-20 5-30W for below 0F environment, and 15W-40 for above 10F environment.
you cannot tell me toyota put 0-W16 with their engine life span in mind, same as "life time" transmission oil.
fark these greedy ass companies. Ultra platinum has gone from $20-25 for a 5 quart bottle to $50-60.
Really! That's a shame. I had been putting Ultra Platinum in my WRX for a few years, until it seemingly vanished off the face of the planet. Haven't been able to find it anywhere, so I went back to (not Ultra) Platinum.
Just add some gasoline to 5w-30 to make 0w-16. Cleans your motor too.
(Kidding of course, but I agree with others here that 16 weight oil has to be 100% about pumping efficiency / MPG, at the cost of engine protection. That said, most equipment will fail before a maintained motor loses compression or bearings.)
Is that the generation that burns oil? The gains by switching from 0W-20 to 16 will be negligible. 20 is also usually cheaper and more readily available.

People said the same thing about 0W-anything (ignorantly) and more recently 0W-20 in large trucks. I haven't personally heard of many failures. If it's designed from the get-go with a lower operating viscosity then I would have zero issues running it. Way back when XW-20 was BACK-spec'd to older applications? That's a big nope from me!
Oil analysis shows that Toyota has about 7x molybdenum and 2x boron compared to Mobil 1. I prefer Toyota OEM 0w-16 and definitely stock up when I can. However, prices have gone up and longer able to purchase cases from parts.toyota.com. I recently purchased 2 cases (12qt) for $81 AC FS from OKPetroleum[okpetroleummarketplace.com]. Highly recommend if you want to stick with TGMO.

Couldn't find the rebate but did find this offer for a $20 gift card if you buy two 5 quart bottles. They don't have Amazon listed as a retailer though.

This. And Honda is the same way. They recommend one viscosity in Japan and then thinner oils here in the EPA regulated states for the same engine.
Where I live, the temp is about the same as Japan, rarely ever below 32 F with a median of 68

So has 0w20, if you can even find it in stock.
