    They have also eliminated the PHEV charge mode in 2026. Could it be oil-related? The elimination of the oil-level sensor is probably...

  3. Gokhan liked Probity's post in the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    Thanks. “Oil Enthusiast” – quite the hobby. Makes sense that the Canada retail sales restriction is more marketing related than...

    Ha, the car is being downgraded every year ever since Gen 4. It sucks that they have even got rid of the charge mode now.

    As long as the oil pressure is above a specified minimum, it is good. That minimum is typically much lower than what you would see even...

    Ha ha ha… My reputation follows me. I don’t post on BITOG anymore. No, I am physicist, but I was an oil enthusiast. Mobil 1 is not a...

  7. Gokhan replied to the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    I doubt that. You could measure the oil pressure in a 2025 and in a 20026 with 0W-8 and compare them. Since the oil pressure is...

  8. Gokhan liked Probity's post in the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    Thanks. Regards possible formulation differences I didn’t take a pic of the Mobil 1 AFE 0w-8 back label on the Walmart shelf so don’t...

  9. Gokhan replied to the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    Same thing happened with Gen 4, switching from 0W-20 to 0W-16 mid-generation. 2020 was the first to switch. I doubt anything changed...

  10. Gokhan liked Hammersmith's post in the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    Looks like Toyota finally switched to 0W-8 for 2026. Both(HEV & PHEV) owner manuals confirm it. As for the question, if true, I bet the...

  11. Gokhan replied to the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    Those specs are quite different indeed. If @Probity can check the four-digit formulation code for Mobil 1 0W-16 SP in Canada, we can...

  12. Gokhan liked Hammersmith's post in the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    Well, the specs on the product datasheets between Mobil 1 0W-16 AFE are slightly different between Canada and the US. Viscosities, pour...

  13. Gokhan replied to the thread Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w-8 - Canada.

    The only reason is that Canada uses liters vs. quarts in the US. The same oil is sold in both countries otherwise. By the way, the...

  14. Gokhan replied to the thread Solar Charging Roof Not Working!.

    I doubt it. I doubt the solar panel turns on the main DC–DC converter to aggressively charge the 12-V battery at around 14.1 V. In the...
