VALVOLINE Engine oil
inline_five
  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.0

Oil burning around 150k, although switching to Valvoline Restore & Protect I've basically eliminated it. Seems to be related to carbon buildup in the low tension rings.

Pros: eliminated oil burning
Cons: carbon buildup
Mileage: 150000 km

OEM Toyota Engine oil

While I didn't own a 2018 (mine was 2013 hybrid -> 2022 prime), here's my short list:

Electric gives a huge increase in torque from 10-50mph

Mechanic told me the oil came out barely darker than it went in on the last change. ~80% electric miles

Pros: increase in torque

BG Engine flush

100ekm-ként érdemes a gyűrűket egy adalékkal tisztítani (BG EPR a titkos megoldás) és megszűnik a probléma.

Pros: solves oil consumption, effective cleaner
Vehicle: Toyota Prius

Vredestein Tires

I have the Quatracs for 3 years now and done 55k kms on them. Just now I can feel that they don't grip as well as they used to on cold, wet road. I had the same experience with every tyre after 3 years, so it was expected. I am very satisfied with them.

Pros: very satisfied, good lifespan
Cons: reduced wet grip after 3 years
Mileage: 55000 km

OEM Toyota Head gasket

According to Toyota themselves It’s caused by inadequate caulking on the head gasket itself. There is a revised part number head gasket that has better longevity but in order to solve the problem entirely the engine would have to be redesigned.

Pros: revised part, better longevity
Cons: inadequate caulking
Vehicle: Toyota Prius

Ct200h or Prius 2zr-fxe because the headgasket will fail at 150k and you have to replace the pcv often because it gets stuck open and burns oil...

Cons: headgasket will fail

OEM Toyota Battery

Having been burned with low quality auto parts store batteries (specifically for the Prius) and their being unable to honor their warranties, the Toyota battery is the only way to go.

Pros: Toyota battery recommended
Cons: low quality, warranty issues
