We bought a brand new 2001 Volkswagon New Beetle several years ago. After we started putting some miles on it, I discovered that it was burning about 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles! A brand new car! I checked with the VW dealer and the VW Vortex user site and discovered that this was "normal" for that model 2.0L gas engine! So 1 quart/5000 miles on a Prius with 190,000 miles? My old Beetle (now deceased) could only dream about that! | |

Friends: 0 | Pearl uses about 1 litre in the 8000 km oil change interval, from new. That's about 5000 mi for those metrically challenged. Some of that -may- be in the filter, but not a litre! It's too small for that. It's normal for engines to burn about that much oil. They may burn more for the first oil change interval, then tend to burn the same amount for years (unless some damage occurs). They start burning excessive oil when the rings get too thin or get overheated and don't seal any more (loss of oil ring tension). The compression rings are sealed by combustion gas pressure, but the oil rings rely on spring tension. Pearl isn't fully broken in yet. Only 25,000 km so far. I suspect she will be totally obsolete long before she wears out.

Friends: 0 | Uhhhh....did I miss something? Isn't this thread about getting 200,000 miles on a single Prius, not multiple ones combined? This kind of reminds me of those business that have "over 20 years of experience", when they've only been open 5 years, because they have 20 employees who each have a small amount of experience. |

Friends: 1 | I guess then my 1987 will last until I die That 10k oil change interval is interesting I had an old Audi diesel before my Pri, I doubt I changed the oil in the last 60k of its life and still running just fine. |

In my case... 59,827 on the Classic... 118,030 on the Iconic... 0 on the 2010... means I'll hit "200,000" right around my 10th Anniversary of Prius ownership (next September). It's our way of endorsing the technology. Our ownership longevity is different, but still demonstrates product condifence. So there! . | |
