Reviving an old thread I know, but I wanted to say thanks to @edthefox5 for posting this. I’ve dreaded the idea of bleeding the ICE coolant system...
I’m curious-what was the last straw that made you junk it? I also have an 06 that has been the greatest vehicle I’ve ever owned. But I know...
I’ve had the same experience as the OP. In lighter snow, and especially on ice, the Prius is always my go to. I like the very conservative...
If the engine doesn’t burn any oil, AND your car doesn’t have much rust (since you’re in the Northeast) then there’s a good chance it could be...
It’s hard to beat OEM. I replaced the original in 2013 with OEM, replaced it in 2022 and it was still working. I figured 9 years was pushing it...
True, but at $23 for 5 quarts I can live with that. I typically go 5k/1 year oci…..since I own 7 cars there’s always 1 or 2 that I put 5,000 miles...
I would agree that changing at 5k is a great idea. Mine has always been changed at 5k intervals and burns very little oil at 271,000 miles. I...
That’s about where I’m at. I notice that the first 3000-3500 miles after an oil change, I burn almost no oil at all. That 3500-5000 is where I...
I usually use Toyota of Olathe as well..as for non Toyota dealers I’ve found Partsgeek to have a lot of Aisin and Denso parts.
Does yours burn much oil? I also change oil at 5k intervals and burn very very little @270,000 miles
M I paid $2500 for OEM new installed by Matt @Texashybridbatteries in 2016. I think the price today is about the same.
I bought a set of Rhino Ramps for low profile cars about 25 years ago and they work for the Prius. The lower air dam barely touches the ramp, but...
lol…I saw your post in the 300,000+ Mile thread. Congrats on that, I’m hoping I get there too. At this point I think the only thing that’ll stop...
I’m not sure either. He’s said something to the effect of- if you change your oil less often you can still easily get to 200,000 miles, but if you...
He’s actually a very, very honest master tech who only recommends work that needs to be done. I’ve learned a lot as a DIY’r from his vids. The guy...
Perhaps there may be a valid case for a 5000 miles OCI after all. Not sure if you’ve seen carcarenut’s YouTube channel or not. He’s a Toyota...
What has your usual oil change interval been? Mine also doesn’t burn much oil. For the first 3000-3500 miles of my oil change it burns nothing,...
Well, since the article lists the Prius “potential lifespan” as 250,601 and my 2006 is at 268,000 miles, it’s all just gravy now
Nice, thanks for sharing this I always use ramps for fluid changes and a Jack/Jack stands when I have to work with wheels removed.
On the flipside of this, there have been several times where I’ve been speeding past a speed trap and would almost certainly have been pulled over...
