Per an old post from me: "I was gonna add that I did a piston soak at 203k. Made the car like brand new again. Basically as good as most average...
How's the oil consumption going? I've also towed a lot with my prius. Felt like it was really hurting the car lol. I have towed a maximum load...
You'll probably be okay, but yeah i would recommend a magnetic drain plug and change the trans fluid every 30-60k miles for max longevity.
Yup: e85 cleaning as posted above, cleaned intake ports, intake valves, fuel injector tips, poured some e85 through the lower pcv connection to...
Unplug the egr valve electrical connector and see if it starts to run smooth. If the misfires goes away and it clears up immediately drive it...

May need to do a 60-0 test with the dragy in the prius where we monitor decel g to 25mph when cruise controls kicks off vs regen only braking,...
Intake manifold passages
No kidding. Piston soak is magic. My old high mileage fleet burns so much less oil I think i have reduced my household emissions ironically. lol
I'll add that these cars are atkinson cycle engines so you will always have an oily intake manifold. They basically vomit oily intake charges...
Careful with the pressure washer. Rough on seals. I have compared 0w-40 and 0w-20 and they didn't make a noticeable difference on weep or...
The egr valve and cooler clogging is usually the last thing to clog and it can adjust decently. The issue is when the manifold clogs it cannot...
Yup engine braking is b mode. Using the engine as a brake when charge is too high, it typically starts at 80% soc automatically unless you...
