Separate names with a comma.
I also still get highly impressed when I see Gen 4 Prius Prime taillights on the road at night. They are one of the best taillights ever when...
I probably wouldn't trust a battery maintainer from Harbor Freight.
The Gen 4 battery—unlike the Gens 2, 3, and 5 batteries in the trunk—is under the hood.
Mine is a Gen 4 PHEV. So, I think the only option for me is the old-fashioned way of clamping on the battery terminals.
After four months, I went ahead and hooked up the Noco Genius (5 A) to recharge the AGM battery, as the open-circuit voltage was dipping to as...
And if only Toyota had already figured out how to build BEVs like Tesla does, half of their vehicle production would be BEVs now. So, there is a...
This same news (from different sources) of Akio Toyoda being [arguably] right has been popping up every week for the last two years. It has got old.
Not to mention that you are unkindly mutilating the car for the next owner (this is exactly why I don’t buy used cars anymore) and telematics will...
Yes, definitely charge it to completion of the charging profile. With Noco Genius, this takes more than 40 hours because the last step in the...
For city driving, the Prius PHEV is good in the BEV mode, but I wouldn’t regularly use the BEV mode for freeway/highway driving—occasional...
As for the key fob, you don’t need to keep it in a Faraday bag. It only drains the battery if it is within about ten feet of the doors. You can...
@MyPriusMarvin ;) It is not the cold weather. It is the miserly BMS that likes to keep the 12-V-battery SOC low and doesn’t charge aggressively...
To estimate the parasitic drain, you need to look at the resting voltage (after about 16 hours). A large part of the initial drop is just the...
A better question is, what are you trying to gain with a boutique oil? As we all know, you can’t make a better oil by simply putting more...
I see—since the intake valves don’t close immediately at the beginning of the Atkinson cycle, the air–fuel-mixture compression is less than the...
The mechanical fit is probably OK. Perhaps you might need some trim. However, the firmware will probably conflict with the firmware of the...
This is one part you don’t want to buy new because it costs more than the car. Get it from eBay or a junkyard.
The piston-ring set is the same for both variants: Toyota part no. 13011-24040. How can the final pressure be the same if the compression is...
You can PM me here, but I don’t have much suggestion. I see that the nonhybrid Corolla engine is very similar except for 13:1 compression vs. 14:1...
Why not try the TGMO 0W-8 from the dealer (OEM oil for the new Corolla)? You can post on BITOG, which has become the promotion site for HPL.
