Three times now I have been to major oil change businesses in the last 2 years to get a quick oil change and filter.
And 3 different managers have told me, and their staff, that my Prius with 1.8 engine requires ONLY synthetic. And all three times I tell them, "No just put in conventional...it's fine. This motor is the same as the 1.8 in the Corolla, which doesn't require synthetic."
A big marketing push, or are these people sold on what they are told?

p.s. rarely do I ever have a store/oil stop change it. I usually do my own OC.
