Getting conflicting answers on google about how much oil is needed to do an oil change.

Exceptions doesn’t become the rule.

 

That must have been in the 1970s when last checked so that conclusive.

 

When you think about it, the Prius engine doesn't work very hard and uses premium synthetic oil.
Why should it wear out and burn oil?

 

If you managed to wear out a Prius engine, I think you may be the exception to the rule.

 

I think their cheaper filters still have them. Dont care, dont trust them

 

I'm not very anal about exact ounces of oil capacity. Since I switched to using full synthetic about 30 years ago, I haven't had an engine wear out or burn oil, and a few have made it past 300,000.

 

i just took it to the local gas station for oil changes, and drain the excess upon returning home

 

What do you consider "excess?"
And how often does this happen to you?

 

I'm old enough to have had hundreds of oil changes,
I never heard of any engine damage from over filling.

 

Geez Paul, you're stamping out all dissension this morning, lol.

 

Your mileage may vary.

 

I was kidding. The V6 Camry took 6 - 6.5 quarts and all 4 cylinder Camry's took 4-4.5 quarts.
The 2.7L Tacoma's took about 6 quarts as well as their V6 cousins......

Hope this clears things up....

 

Majority if not all dealerships use bulk oil contrary to what your receipt says.

 

I don't do oil changes at oil change shops any more, since an experience I had.
There was only one filler hose in the guy's hand when he asked me which oil I wanted.
I'm sure I could have told him anything, and he would have pretended to be using that oil.
I think they order cheap oil in bulk from a place called "Service Station Supply."
The oil they sell is reject oil and dangerous for your engine.
