    Definitely will, I have a theory they are charging me for having to open a box of 6 individual quarts and charging me for the 6th quart because “what are we going to do with a spare quart” and the fact they order them by the box of 6, still a stealership kind of thing to do to put the burden of not having 5qt bottles ordered onto me.

    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.
