Good question... personally, after having opened up my Priuses and my Brother's CX50 Hybrid filters, i would change them the couple first times.. the amount of glitter in there is incredible...

Personally, i use Pennzoil Ultra Platium 0w20 because (1) they don't make Pennzoil Ultra Platium 0w16 and (2) i like to step on it sometimes and my manual says this. If i was always driving miss daisy and the climate would be milder, i don't think i'd have problems using 0w8 in the Prius. But i...

Nothing bad with AMSOIL Signature Series except availability around here... I'll probably try some Valvoline Restore and Protect someday.

Also doing the Good old Civic.. 2012 Civic Si. 481 000ish km.. Out: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. In: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. Left the old metal screen backed Fram Ultra there, il might have 2k km so it's still more then good enough!

2019 Mazda Signature Turbo. Car had 92k km on it.. oil and Filter has 8k on them. Out: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 and OE Mazda filter. In:Same thing!

If anything like the K24 in my Si, it could be smoother running, in my case with Redline oil...

2025 Mazda CX50 Hybrid. 5000km on the clock. Oil has about 4500km as we attempt to clean all the shavings/debris/crap Toyota left in there.. Out. 0w20 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and OE Tundra filter. (90915-10010) In. 0w20 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Toyota YZZN3 filter. ...look at that crap...

Hands down my friend's Suzuki Grand Vitara with the 2.4l engine. The filter is hidden well under the hot AF exhaust manifold with almost no access for tools as there are a myriad of steering joints and hoses in your way.. Twice i attempted to change the oil in that thing.. Twice i ended up...

...annd like that, it's been about two years. Do we get to see some pictures? ;)

At that low of a ratio, better not to put any oil anyway.. 400:1 seemed like a sweet spot in that car but it's not seen any action in a long time.

This! That's the reason why i follow the maintenance minder with the Civic (old, proven K24 and almost no oil dilution) and why i run 0w20, not 0w16, and absolutely wont go to the recomended 16k km ever with the Prius. An absolute fuel dilution monster.. Might even try 5w30 during summer..

32k.. hard pass! Oil is cheap, engines aren't...

Beats me! But everytime i go Redline on that K24, it's noticeably, buttery smooth. But now i use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum because i can have it at about 30$ for 5 liters and frankly, it's a perfectly fine oil. Redline is about 25$ a Liter so.....

Yes. I like that i can have it at a bargain a couple of times a year at Canadian Tire.

Redline Pros: My K24 is quieter/smoother on Redline HP 5w30 then just any other oils.. AMSoil Pros: My L15 was sparking clean at 180k km of AMSOIL Signature Series use. Cons? Can't think of any for both brands.. really..

2025 Toyota Prius Prime 1200km on the clock. Out:Factory Toyota 0w16 and 10009 filter. In:Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 and 10010 filter. As a side note, my Japanese made M20A-FXS had a whole lot less debris in the factory filter then my brother's A25A-FXS (US or Canadian Made?? Do they build...

Good news, i might try some in the Civic. It doesn't consume oil but it's high milleage AF. It would be perfect for it as it doesn't see much use now anyway. Perhaps 4 or 5k km per Summer so i would'nt be too concerned by the fact that it's not a ED friendly oil.

All warranties are free money!! I work for a dealership. On a side note (edit) i never understood why some dealerships scoffs at warranty work. Dealer gets paid by HQ, customer is happy and returns for something else, techs doesn't get unemployed, etc....

That a great oil. I buy something like 10 jugs of it when it's on sale at Canadian tire for, like 30$ for 5l.. that and the 15$ mail in rebate from SOPUS makes it an absolute winner.

Meh.. i mean, i mostly followed the MM on my 2012 Civic Si and even "forgot" to change the oil filter one time when i went to paternity leave (see below) and the engine is still perfectly fine more then 300k miles later.. might consume a cup of oil per OCI.. might.. not even sure.. So about...
