Grant's 2001 Yellow Taxi Prius travelled over 332,000 km before it was replaced with a 2003 Prius. Grant now operates a 2004 Prius Taxi.

300K ??! But ... but ... Mr Spinela's dust to dust report said the Prius only goes 100K as opposed to Hummers that just keep going & going & going. I'm so confused

BTW, Holy antique threads ! ! ! How'd this nearly 3yr oldie get resurected.

Have an '04 with 115K miles. Received a software patch in late '04. Otherwise no problems - original brake pads, 2nd set of tires, oil changes every 5K miles. Use it primarily for long haul commuting. It has been a great car.

What kind of oil are you using? I think you should at least give your Prius 7K-10K oil change interval if not 5K. Why 15-20K miles?

From separate conversations, I understand that krousdb uses Mobil 1 0W20. On such a long run, it certainly seems wise to see if there is any TBN left We are working on him to get into used oil analyses, because these change intervals are unusually long for Prius.

I wish he'd do more air filters, but not the boss. Main point of the post was probably to indicate that Prius can be a *very* low-maint vehicle.

My '04 has over 102,000 miles and not one problem thus far. Regular oil changes (at 5 K miles) and that's it. MPG still averages 45 in combined driving like it has from the beginning. By far the most reliable and efficient vehicle I've ever owned.

Major milestone today; I just joined this li'l club.

POOF!

[well, the 120 or 150 k or whatever it is hybrid system coverage is
still in effect, in theory..]
.
To be fair, not all of those miles are mine, as I got the car gently
used at about 13K, but it's still a milestone. It came right around the
I-93 x I-495 interchange north of Boston, not too far from where I saw
50K and 90K. With the car pulling 61.8 MPG average at half the tank
gone in weather probably averaging about 32F, it feels just nicely
broken in. Still plenty of meat on its second set of tires, and I am
*so* not worried about brake linings at this point.
