    Toyota Genuine Transaxle Fluid TE availability

    My new 2026 PHEV uses: Toyota Genuine e-Transaxle fluid TE When I bought the car I asked the parts department what quantity it comes in and what it cost. They said 4L containers and $95ish cost wise. Mind you this is Canada and our weak $ prices. They never mentioned an availability problem...

    2026 Prius PHEV Plan of action, point of interest, and thoughts.

    It only hold 400ml/0.4 quarts. That isn't a huge amount and it will then be heavily diluted by the new oil. Do you really think I should change he filter too?

    2026 Prius PHEV Plan of action, point of interest, and thoughts.

    I actually bought that on sale, before the Amsoil. I ended up returning it because they weren't JASO GLV-1 licensed. Otherwise if they had been that would have stayed in the garage.

    2026 Prius PHEV Plan of action, point of interest, and thoughts.

    That is a very good point. And thank you for your input. Unfortunately before the monster almost 1100km drive, I won't go on any long enough trips to get a good enough idea of the oil temps. I am just gonna up it to 16 to be on the safe side with extreme summer hear and high rpm mountain...

    2026 Prius PHEV Plan of action, point of interest, and thoughts.

    I actually bought some Amsoil Hybrid 0W-8 it was literally 50% of the price of a quart of Toyota 0W-8. I bought it just before prices were adjusted with the surcharge. So literally 2 quarts of Amsoil or 1 quart of Toyota. It is JASO GLV-1 licensed, and was very, very affordable compared to...

    2026 Prius PHEV Plan of action, point of interest, and thoughts.

    Recently traded in my 2018 Prius Prime, which was a dependable car through and through. The only reason I traded up was because there were some very healthy Toyota Red Flag Day deals coupled with a Canadian Federal rebate that basically made it a no brainer for me. This 2026 revision year...

    Buy Oil Now! - per Lake Speed Jr

    I have some Amsoil on deck it was literally 50% of the price. However I bought 3 changes of Toyota 0W-8 for a baseline as I do my break in oil change in the future with a few more scheduled. Then I am off to Amsoil every 6 months and free oil change from Toyota every year.

    Post your latest oil or filter purchase

    Well just traded in my reliable 2018 Toyota Prius Prime for a 2026 Prius PHEV (Prime). I didn’t need a new car but the rebates and incentives made it a no brainer for myself. The 23, 24, and 25 all speced 0W-16 and 20 in a pinch. This is the first year it speced 0W-8 and 16 in a pinch. So gave...
