What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

@m.wynn nudged me to 0w-40.

I didn’t really notice the engine before, but I was running redline 5w-30, so it surprising .

I consume a quart every 5k miles so spending $20 more per oil change (and feeding our Prius in between) on red line was something I discontinued in favor of 0w-40.

But 0w-40 works for me.

 

Keep a close eye on consumption, you may find it improves with this new oil since it remains thicker at high temperatures. If you notice a change (or don't notice one) keep us informed. I'm at 115k and burning nothing but worried for when that time comes.

 

I check the level every Saturday along with the oil catch can .

No need to worry about oil consumption if you check frequently and top up as needed.

Awareness avoids future headaches.

 

Ur manual says 0w-20? Mine says 5w-30 and 15w-40 lol.

 

Our oil cap also says 0w-20.

But I’m a bad boy.

For the right reason though.

My motives are good.

 

My oil cap doesnt say sh!t lol, its all blank...

 

Toyota recommends different oil weights for the Prius for different countries. This is based on things like emissions, laws and environment. The 0w-20 weight here in the US is incredibly thin, especially for higher temperature areas.

 

Are you at 200K yet? And at 54mpg also

 

190k and going strong .

But getting that Prime itch again.

We’ll see if it’s makes it to 200k under our ownership .

 

Life on the edge, that's Ray. Next week he'll be posting hang time numbers from his latest base jump.

 

.

If only.

Instead this married father of 2 did scouting for food and family portraits today.

Definitely safer .

 

That means you can put anything in there and it will still operate

 

Thanks for the information! im gonna try with some tomato juice!

 

Washed it.

Not a Prius, but Sean and Roger lowered my brother's Audi S4 yesterday.
