timing Chain

Yes I pulled the dipstick and I blot it on some like filter paper that's white then I can see the blackness a little bit of particulate matter smell how bad it smells how quick it lights with a lighter or flame and so on and in the morning I'll unscrew the 3600 large oil filter drain the mess out for a half a quart of pour through oil and let it run through and pick up what's on the bottom of the pan and let it sit open for about 30-40 minutes then drop fresh 5 30 and a new 3600 filter and off to the races if you will.

 

I see, so you waste a half a quart to clean it out?

I was told that because the Prius runs on electric battery about half the time, you can go twice as long before changing the oil.

 

Husband tales.. yes I waste 3/4 of a quart at change to pour thru.. the 1 NZ our engines are more like reg ice car more so than mewer model's. So this model we can treat more like a Corolla than a hybrid when dealing with the engine part of it.

 

NZ? Sorry, I don't understand your 2nd sentence

 

1NZ that is the engine in mine and yours car that we're driving that you just had worked on.
