Separate names with a comma.
Sorry, I think that only applies to the GenIII's. I was reading this thread before and did not realize they were talking about a...
Hi Theshark. If you are going to consider synthetic, might as well use one of the big names. I use Mobil 1, but many others are worthy. Pennzoil,...
Hi. Its neat you researched your issue and now have positive results for it!
To summarize: When the HV battery is full or nearly full and the car is descending a grade- 1) The battery on the MFD turns a Salmon color. 2)...
I’ve searched for an answer to my question but have not found it yet. When the HV battery becomes fully charged, which might happen when...
SWprius08, I don’t think I am an experienced enough Prius driver to give “tips†to you. But I can tell you how I drive at this current time....
I think we can run 0W20 too, but I want to do more research on that before I try it.
Oh, I forgot to mention that when I first got it I switched to Mobil 1 5W30. At my next change I'm going to switch to Mobil 1 0W30, hopefully that...
I recently acquired a 2005 Prius with 17k miles. So far I am very pleased with the fuel economy. I commute 72 miles a day through urban settings,...

Just a follow up question. Have you noticed an increase in oil consumption with 0W20. I am considering using it in my 05 but may just use 0W30 if...
My FIL's Prius went for nearly 2.5 months w/o being started. It started OK but the 12V battery was close to being dead I think. Next time I will...
I just changed the oil in my FIL's 05 Prius with under 17K miles. Mostly it sits in the garage. I used M1 5W30 and a M1 filter. I will be buying...
Thanks for all the tips. I actually have been able to use this car a bit lately even though it is not mine yet. All the reading I have been doing...
The whole argument against the Prius is laughable anyway. Assuming I average 45 mpg in the Prius and 18 in my Ford Explorer, after 100k miles I...
