200,000 Mile Club

Very old post. But I must chime in . I got piston pictures like this with an Amazon borascope cheap android cell cam. Look with a hi quality camera.. my pistons looked beat up. In real life very good

 

Just hit 200000 today
Original hybrid battery
Changed 12 volt once
Oil change every 6 months
Replaced tires a few times,
Replaced brakes
New catalytic converter but only because mine was stolen
Replaced oil pan

 

I guess I am part of this club, I am at 420,000 km.

 

Q) Did you replace the HV battery pack? Do you maintain it?
A) Nope, original battery at 240K (140K of which are my own miles), no battery maintenance performed. Expecting battery to go out within the next year.

Q) Did you replace the 12v battery?
A) Only once during my ownership. That was 5 years ago.

Q) Did you replace the transaxle fluid? How often?
A) Yes, twice during my ownership. First 130K, again at 200K.

Q) Did you replace the brake pads?
A) Not yet! Still have 5mm remaining on the front pads. Expecting to have them replaced around the 250K mark. Mostly due to polished rotors rather than pad wear.

Q) Your lifetime MPG (if available)?
A) Total lifetime MPG unavailable. Estimated lifetime MPG: 46 MPG.

Q) How often do you change your oil? Does your Prius consume oil? What brand / product did you use?
A)_Once every 10K miles until I reached 200K. Now every 5K, done at Toyota.

Q) Did you install an oil catch can? How often do you inspect or dump it?
A)Nope.

Q) Have you cleaned the egr circuit? How frequently?
A) Yes, twice. Once at 110K and again at 200K.

Q) Any other maintenance?
A) EGR cleaning. Catalytic converter replaced due to carbon buildup. Upstream O2 sensor, oil pressure sensor, and water pump all replaced. Front struts and sway bar links also replaced. Aside from that, just standard regular maintenance. I will be replacing my wheel bearings next week.
