3rd gen model year and oil consumption

My 2010 lvl III is still a child at almost 85k miles. It burns no oil. I actually think the level rises slightly. EGR system and intake cleaning @ 71k miles and it was bad. No startup knock thanks to OCC. I run 0w40 Mobil1, 2-3 fuel system cleaners a year, and 1 oz/5gal TCW-3 for an UCL.

Pixel XL ?

 

What do you like for 2-stroke oil, mjoo?

 

I use Pennzoil Marine found at Walmart. The TCW-3 is supposed to have some good cleaners and lubricity. I notice the engine is quieter. I hope it helps keep the rings clean

Pixel XL ?

 

My dad used to get twisted up when someone would say there car didn't use any oil.

 

FWIW, I have a 2010, 120K miles, mostly highway, and, like most Prius owners, gently driven. The car uses almost a quart of oil in 9 - 10K miles. I use mostly 0-20 synthetic, but for extended summer trips, I'll put in 5-30 synthetic.

 

Give 0w-40 a try.

You’ll like it.

 

2011 with 79,000 . No oil consumption what so ever , nada.
0-20w , full synthetic - brand varies . Mobile one, Napa (Valvoline) , Castrol, etc .....whatever is on sale , but always 0-20w full synthetic.
Always a Napa gold filter (Wix) .
I am burning NO oil at all , and I am going with the 10,000 mile oil change rotation . Oil changes are always done at the SECOND oil change monitor warning screen.
I dont drive like grandma either, car is driven hard . No pulse and glide here ,lol .

2010 Prius III with almost 156K miles (251K km) on the odometer. In the 30K miles (48K km) since I bought it about 1.5 years ago, I've added a total of 16 ounces (0.47 L) of oil. The only times I've seen any decrease at all in oil level is after trips with much heavy throttle use (significant acceleration and/or quite fast highway speeds).

Other notes: I check the oil about every week. I carefully scribed the dipstick with lines so I have a more accurate visual reference to changes in level. I take the car in for oil & filter changes about every 5K miles, have been using Toyota 0W-20 synthetic oil, and Wix 57064XP filter.

 

2015 with 896XX using TGMO 0w20 with TOYOTA filter 10000 mile interval and no oil consumption issue yet

 

Still rocking my “haven’t voted yet sticker.”

 

I voted minimal again for my 2015 for the fun of it.

However I have a little under 30k miles on the odo

 

Done.

 

2011 with 86k on it right now. No noticeable oil consumption.. Running Amsoil 0W-20 with a 15k OCI.

 

Posted my vote.

 

2013, just turned over 82,000 miles this week. No oil consumption. I've used exclusively Quaker State 0W-20 (since that tends to be the cheapest name-brand at Wally World) and Valvoline filters I got online for something like $2.80 per--so I bought 10.
