Well there is good news. I just did a little more research and found out in 2018 Toyota switched back to a spin on filter for the Camry's. So that's good news. Cartridge filters are a mess to deal with. And for just $5.50 each, the price isn't bad either.

Buy all ten, you’re good for 100,000 miles I’d guess!

I never heard of a multi-grade oil with such a narrow range. My ATV uses 5W-50, but the owner's manual used to call for 2W-50. So my ATV oil has a range of 45, but used to be 48, exactly 3 times the range of your 0W-16.

I'll most likely use 0W-20. It's only 4 points off to the high side. And Toyota say's in the manual other oils can be used. 0W-20 would most likely be a better choice in these hot Arizona Summers anyway.

Bill, do not substitute any other oil for your new car, The required oil might be expensive, but the damage done by any other type of oil will cost you a lot more. I ran an oil change shop and used to have to get the owners manual out to show the owner that the synthetic oil was REQUIRED and that using anything else would void the warranty. All they saw was the higher price and didn't take into consideration the benefits of the better oil. I think that one of the thing the salesmen should have to do is explain the maintenance requirements for any new car during the negotiations, It would help with things like this. Good luck with your new ride.

I absolutely agree with this statement.  I worked in a garage for two plus years, did a few thousand oil changes outside of my own and never varied from factory specs. 

I run straight synthetic in both my vehicles today but only at the factory viscosity.

Toyota does allow for the use of 0W-20 in the manual. In fact it even suggests it under high heat conditions. And say's to return to 0W-16 at the next oil change under more normal conditions. So for me that works out well. My first oil change will be in extremely hot weather.

I don't drive enough to judge my oil changes by mileage. So I simply change twice a year. I'll use 0W-16 in the cooler weather, and 0W-20 in the Summer when the daytime temps are always over 100F. And I'll remain within factory recommendations by doing so.

Bill,

Isn't Toyota giving free maintenance of the 2018 models for 25,000 miles?
