Thanks ATHiker. I’m almost always the one to refill the Prius...and, I’m careful with the fuel door switch. Good information, though.
Good point. I’ve spent a LOT of money over the years on cars. I’m recently retired - early. If I had spent less money on cars, I probably could...
"Gas overflowed while filling up 2x (every Prius owner needs to read up on that)" This grabbed my attention. I haven't seen anything about it....
Lot of variables to consider....but, I'm guessing the $10K wouldn't allow for much of an early retirement. If one invested $10K and managed to...
Impressive detail. Congrats! I especially like the addition of lost opportunity cost of capital. Sounds like the car has ran basically...
Thank you. It’d be interesting to learn what the root cause of failure was....
Okay I’ll bite... what does an “exhaust coolant exchange pipe” do? Is it the EGR cooler? I’m not surprised to hear Toyota covered this under...
Wow...that’s not good. I’ve had very good luck with out-of-warranty good will coverage by both Honda and Toyota. My experience is they’re pretty...
“National problem” huh... I wonder what percent of gen4 have or will have issues with axels. It sounds like the type of problem some folks might...
When I started looking into whether there was a torque value for a Toyota spin on cartridge, I was amazed at the many descriptions folks used for...
Opps- correction.... the box doesn’t specify the torque.... it just says to torque the plastic cap and to not over-torque it.
Thanks. I have a couple of the “filter element kit types” left over from my 2013 and on their box, it specifies a torque for the plastic cap. I...
Thanks- you’re right. I looked on my Tacoma filter box and the 3/4 turn is written right on the box.
i spent a bit of time googling this without much success. Anyone know what the torque is supposed to be for a Toyota spin on oil filter cartridge...
Hopefully you're out of the woods. One can hope! Thanks again for your advice. I’ve certainly learned a lot reading through Priuschat.
Thanks for taking the time to measure your Optima. I had an optima in my 2013 and, as you mentioned, I think they tend to read a bit higher than...
I had a similar thought regarding a freshly driven car. Wouldn’t a properly functioning charging system normally charge the 12v up to full given...
Interestingly, I think the 12v on my current Prius is physically larger than what was in my 2013. My memory could be off a bit though.
Well I’m going to, initially, monitor the battery voltage on the same schedule as checking the dipstick. Pep boys seemed to think 100%...
The dealer that I bought the car from wasn’t that clever. I had the impression the car wasn’t on their lot very long...but that was probably...
