Well, it's complicated.

1) Hybrid? stick with 0w-8/16 because they have additives specifically for low RPM, cold, highload that these engines see a lot of.
Although it's an expensive oil with expensive additives, don't skip the oil changes.

Don't run 0w-16 and 0w-20 either because they rely on additives to be acceptable at low temps.

2) Gas? Should probably stick with 0w-20.
Although Toyota's machining/oil pump control makes 0w-8/16 acceptable, the overall protection is still lower.

3) Toyota and Mercedes' manufacturing engineers need huge raises for improving their cranks and cylinder linings to avoid boundary friction with these oils. GM and Hyundai/Kia blew up lots of engines!
