OIL BURN fixed with SEAFOAM, anyone try this method on a Prius?

Welcome to Prius Chat .

While not on a gen 2 (which is what you have) I have reduced our 2010 Prius II 's oil consumption from a quart every 4500 miles to less than a quart between 10 k mile oil changes.

I use BG Products EPR and flush the engine prior to draining the old oil out. I then use BG Products Moa with the new oil. I also ensure I only go 0-5 mph above the posted highway speed limits and have seen reduced oil consumption.

My old man used sea foam in his 1999 Jeep Cherokee and saw great results (not burning oil but was hesitating and knocking bad).

But keeping an eye on the dipstick and adding as needed is the key to keeping your Prius running strong for many more years .

 

I have seen great results and know plenty of folks who have the same opinion .

Whatever you attempt, keep us posted .

 

I use 44k once a year. It is concentrated Techron. I have worked with a local rep to better understand their offering, here is a conversation I had with him:

[POLL] Excessive Oil Usage

This is the start of what I have done (conversation with the rep later on in the thread ). Thought I would put the link earlier in so you could see @milkman44 's feedback.

These are both Gen3's though.

In regards to 44k, the components are petroleum distillates (naphtha, etc) so I wouldn't be concerned. But you can always ask their rep in your area (they are very knowledgeable and helpful).

Hope that helps.

 

I wonder if the car in the video is still running..
