That is amazing . A nearly new engine!
Yes, agreed, an eyeball visual inspection alone is totally insufficient to determine the condition of engine oil. But an inspection combined with...
Right, but some people drive their PHEVs plenty. But they just do a lot of their driving in EV mode. That is the use case that l am trying to look...
Agreed, hybrids are pretty tough on their ICE drivetrains. If l had a hybrid, l would change my oil every 5,000 miles driven total. But this...
fyi, l am in no way suggesting that. I prefer to change the oil every 5,000 ICE miles. This thread is more about the chronological time issue that...
Yes, good point about the oil filter, kinda hard to verify it's level of blockage or non blockage. But engine oil has some easy signs: how many...
Yup, l totally agree, for ICE cars, the 10,000 mile oil change interval is really kooky. I think it is bound to cause problems for long-term...
Not sure if that is the case. For example, if someone drives 5000 miles per year and yet changes their tires every year because they say "its...
That is a very good idea: pulling the filter, draining it of used oil, and then reinstalling it (for changes when you plan to reuse the filter)....
And, unfortunately, this piece of info will take away even more of your once-a-year "fun". This oil expert says that changing the ICE oil filters...
Good points, but were you able to listen to the podcast ?
Plus a good number of needless hours doing the oil changes, if you DIY them.
No huge need for an hour meter, as there are easy ways to keeping track of miles driven in HV mode (in a prius PHEV). But some people insist that...
I know there have been lots of oil change threads, but I was curious to get people's opinions on a specific aspect of oil changes for prius PHEVs...
Definitely this, charge mode is quite handy for prepping the car for very quiet overnights (or even quick road trip naps in hot or cold...
Likely, the best thing you can do to prevent this from happening is to (1) make sure every device that prompts an automatic ICE start up (example:...
Not sure l follow, can you explain ?
No, sir, no lathe. But I do have a compass with which to draw circles, and a cheap jig saw that I am able to make angled circular cuts with. Ya...
This is interesting. What happens if one uses, say, a non-approved plastic valve cap with a TPMS ? Will something maffunction?
This has been a great forum, it is has helped me a lot, especially in getting a great OE spare tire kit for my SE from toyota at a ridiculously...
