Patrick, hi The maintenance reminders are the one thing I haven't bothered to play with on my Prius. A service is only due once every year/10,000 miles and so...
Hi I saw the posts you mentioned on the 2-G Group. If all those suggestions were implemented the car wouldn't have enough power to move, and nobody would be...

No idea, Jerry, but I was wondering the same. My Prius just had his first service and my dealer (in the Netherlands) used 10W40, don't know from which oil...

Good, let me know if you notice any difference in MPG and that sort of thing. :) Just wondering how using different oil will impact waranty. I think I'll check...

Hmmmm I've been reading Prius lists since I got the car in 2003 and have seen very very few problems of any serious nature. My dealer reports virtually no...
