  3. Winston Smith replied to the thread New 2024 PRIUS DANAGE. Appreciate advice and opinions!!.

  6. Winston Smith replied to the thread PriusChat or ToyotaChat?.

    I used to change my own oil back when people did that every 3000 miles. I didn't have any spare money, and I could do it pretty quickly...

  7. Winston Smith replied to the thread PriusChat or ToyotaChat?.

    You aren't wrong, but making the jump from niche to brand may not be natural or easy. There's some cultural cohesion to a niche that is...

  8. Winston Smith replied to the thread ... rise 'n fall of the girl-boss ~.

    "Boy boss" isn't a neologism. Girlboss is a term. Let's practice tolerance. Boy can be a pejorative in a way girl isn't. Boy can...

  9. Winston Smith replied to the thread Issues with changing wheels on a Prime XSE from 19" to 17".

    I had prius wheels on my Corolla. [IMG] I think they looked nice and were probably a bit lighter than the stock 16" wheels. I'll...

  10. Winston Smith replied to the thread Issues with changing wheels on a Prime XSE from 19" to 17".

  13. Winston Smith liked Hammersmith's post in the thread 2024 Prius with or without AWD?.

    The problem is oxygen. Once pretty much any oil is exposed to fresh oxygen, it begins to (very slowly) break down. Once the oil is in...

  14. Winston Smith replied to the thread 2024 Prius with or without AWD?.

    Makes sense. I keep synthetic engine oil around for other uses that are much less demanding than engines or transmissions. I could...
