Between TGMO 0w16 and Pennzoil PU 0w20 in my 2024 Prius Prime, the dufference is soo mute i didn't register it.. it's falling in the margin of error. Now, in a lab with controlled operating conditions the difference between TGMO 0w16 and TGMO GLV-1 0w8 is something like 0.8%. Figure the...

I see what you're saying!

Yeah excepted nobody does the exact same trip in the exact same weather.. right until my current OCI (with Redline oil), i was letting the car run in hybrid mode so the engine was doing a lot of start stop cycles and coolant rarely got over 160°. More so at -30°c during winter.. When i did an...

It's a shame that my Scangauge 2 does not show the oil temps on my 2024 Prius Prime but one thing for sure, if i'm not on charge mode or on hybrid mode at highway speeds, coolant temps stays low (between 160 / 140ish) as the engine starts a couple of km then stops, starts again, then stops, and...

Have both the Studded Nokians and Michelins on 2 different cars. (Of course..) They both are beyond excellent.. my advice would have been to get the Michelins since they were cheaper but since it's been a year, i'm too late. Anyway, you can't go wrong with any of those 2 choices!

For what it's worth, i've used whatever 2t oil available in my almost 300k miles Civic Si without issues... no CEL, no fouled plugs or O2 sensors, no plugged Cat... varied from 200:1 to 500:1.

If you're in the US of A give the new Valvoline Restore and Protect a spin. A long ass time ago, my 1993 Civic used to really like Valvoline Max Life Syn-Power.. might not exist anymore..

I more or less agree with you. If we lived in a hotter climate and oil contamination by fuel or condensation were not a factor, i would'nt have it changed.. but around here (Quebec City) we deal with a lot of start/stop operation in cold, subzero temperatures and it will ruin engine oil in no...

My sister's 2021 Prius Prime. 16k on oil (too much for my tastes but..) 60k on the car. Out whatever bulk oil Toyota put in with a N1 filter. In, Pennzoil Platinum 0w16, a 10010 OE filter and a dash of Redline SI1 in the gas! Clean engine also..

Apparently they "might" release it in Canada sometime next year.. that's according to some lady in the Valvoline Global Chat..

Haven't really tought about that but my own 2012 Civic Si needs R134 Top off every 3 years or so since it was new. When it starts to blow warm air, we flush and refill the system and it's ice cold again for another 3-ish years..

Some OE Toyota 90915-10010 filters for the Prius and a XG7317 for the Civic. Oil wise, the latest buys were some 5w30 and 0w20 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.

...and condensers too. And we do change them too on Toyotas.. maybe less frequently than Honda however..

2012 Civic Si. 2.4l K24Z7 478 200-ish km. Out, 5w30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, xg7317 Fram Ultra. In, same exact thing. Plus i've got bored and decided to make use of that endoscope camera i've got.. ...and those 3 were taken thru the oil drain plug! I'd say it's clean enough! Gotta...

I'd say Sault Saint Marie?

That looks like a high quality, solid filter as expected from a Donaldson Synteq product! I wonder if it would fit on my 2024 Prius Prime? The one that they have listed as an interchange for the YZZF1 have an efficiency of 50% at 20 microns.... Might try to take mesurements of the housing at my...

5.1 for the non turbo, 5.5 for the turbo. Dad had both! ;)

I'm thinking about that. Don't know if Canada Post would like dealing with used motor oil samples though...

Coolant level doesn't move one bit and oil reeks of gasoline!! I'm putting the blame on a cold engine and direct injection at least until i know better. Didn't had that much of an issue with my 2021 Prime that didn't had direct injection and a much smaller HV battery.

Last oil change was after 10k km with maybe 4 or 5 with the gas engine actually running. It was better but still... I'll put the trusty Scangauge back in to try and monitor engine temps.
