What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Do they steal cats too?

 

Not sure but nobody tries it here in florida. We r all armed

 

If rogue cops or ICE officers also stole cats, would that deter them?

 

Hi! Both kits are from MCX... I went with them because my cat was stolen on my former gen 2 and the cheap oem skid was always falling off, losing its structural integrity, and carrying dirt and rocks that somehow got lodged up in there. Regarding the whole area coverage, I didn't create the design, however, just the feel of how much sturdier it is with all the fasteners and the extra protection it provides to the oil pan is worth it to me. IMO the extra plastic just creates more space for dirt and grime to travel around with me as extra baggage.

 

Did an oil change, which lead to I might as well clean out the oil catch cans, which lead to pull the intake manifold for access, clean the throttle body, and so on.


Outcome of one hour soak in 10% KOH solution.

 

Miles?

 

Roughly 65k. Garage queen. We make a point to do goodly drives every week or so, and we consolidate any shopping chores with those drives, whenever practical.

my wife and I are both retired, fixed income, kind of tied down with an aging dog currently too. And just getting less enthusiastic about driving. Still need a car, but only doing about 3k kms yearly.

Toyota Canada says to change the oil every 8k kms or 6 months, whichever comes first. I did stick with that for over a decade, but with 3k kms yearly now, gave my head a shake, went to once a year, first chance I get in April.

 

Same here w/ our diesel 5th wheel pulling machine. Sits under its cover for over ½ a year at a time. Other than 2 or 3 cross country trips, we got more campsites we can even go to - w/in 175 mi.
So - ½ way through winter, remove battery maintainer, unplug block heater, pull cover off, & wheel covers, check tires, warm up & high speed drive for about 15-20 minutes, put covers back on until spring.
Oil & filter change? Fuel filter change? Ends up getting done for <750mi year.

We've got a local waterfront destination, round-trip about 15 miles, if it's a nice day, pack sandwiches and coffee:


(we don't live in the Coquitlam Centre, but nearby.)

Hit a few stores on the way back as needed.
