Toyota Prius parts reviews

My Service Writer AND 2 of the Hybrid Mechanics that I am allowed to speak with on occasions have all told me with the Full Synthetic Oil that 10,000 miles is a good interval to change the oil. Being my father's daughter, I cannot do it, I make my intervals at approximately 8,000 miles, give or take. I check my engine's dipstick and admittedly VISUAL inspection and smell the oil. I would like to share that since my very first oil change, I have used a TRD Oil Filter which has more structure and filtration.

Oil and filter every 5k miles give or take a couple hundred. Air filter... when it gets dirty or once a year. Which ever is first. Most of the time it is the year.

every 5k miles for me to stave off the inevitable HG issue. 160k miles on a 3rd gen which is notorius for HG problems if you don't change your oil.

It took me only 3 hours to replace and assembly all the parts back to my Prius. Really enjoys on the performance because my old struts almost did not work at all and it's shocking a lot when driving through a tough road. I've also do some research and Monroe should be better for a American car rather than a Japan one like Prius, and KYB perform smooth and better in case of specific Prius and Toyota cars.

Personally I have Michelin crossclimate+ on my prius (they don't have crossclimate 2 in my size) and love them.

I've been using motuls hybrid oil that's specifically for hybrid cars on my gen 3 prius. Gave me +2mpg onto of what I do and "nicer" ride

+1 on Mobil 1 oil and for the filter Bosch or Mobil 1 extended performance filter (both are about the same cost as OEM, but have better filtering)

I have a 2017 and have used Ecopia tires from day one. Original tires lasted me two years and over 60,000 miles. The current set has 40,000 and still going very strong. I average 50 mpg so they seem to be working well in all facets of their job.

I have Michelin Xi3's. I can't recommend them if you care about your car's performance at all. If you don't GAF then these are fine. Probably ideal for a Prius. They work fine in snow, the brakes work on ice, and the ride is alright. That's all the praise I can give them.

I was in a prius with michelin defenders on rt90 in MA during a rainstorm at 65 with cruise control when the front wheels just spun out, lost traction
