Toyota issues oil substitution guidance amid supply shortage

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
Toyota has advised dealers to substitute some 0W-8 and 0W-16 oil changes with heavier grades for one service interval due to supply shortages. This situation underscores the dependence of modern engines on specialized oils and the fragility of global supply chains amid geopolitical and logistical challenges. Affected customers include owners of newer Toyota models, particularly hybrids like the RAV4, Highlander, Camry, and Corolla Hybrid, who may experience changes in oil grades during upcoming services.
