    What does everyone prefer to use when changing the oil in a 2012 Prius V? Syntetic or not? Weight? Why? Thank you!

    Synthetic as it came from the factory for better engine life. The oil cap and manual will always describe the weight, which in this car is 0w20. High speed driving or oil burning may warrant a 5w20 oil. I use Mobil 1.
