I found some Pirelli P4’s for sale on tirerack years ago and the treadlife on them is absolutely insane, and my car is able to take corners better than any Prius has the right to
For MPG we had good results with the Bridgestone ecopia ep422 , we’ve since switched over to a tire that has better snow performance after using those up.
Recently I put Michelin Crossclimate+ XL’s on to replace my bald falkens.
I prefer to buy Pennzoil Platinum (high mileage or ultra) 5w30 and use a WIX or Toyota filter, whichever is cheaper.
I use castrol magnatec beucase it has some kindof ionization tech where it sticks to metal surfaces to reduce start up wear which the prius is constanly starting/stopping.
Toyota OEM 0W-20 Full Synthetic. Recommended change of 10,000 miles. Rumor is that the FS motor oil is manufactured by Exxon Mobil. IF it ever came down to it, I would only use Mobil FS in the same rating. I use the TRD oil filter, it is a superiorly made filter.
Always buy the Toyota original engine air filter or you will lose mpg.
I drive an average of 100 to 150 miles a day doing deliveries. (Gen 3 2014 Plug In Hybrid) I do use Mobil 1 high mileage (label says protects up to 20,000 mi) oil and a Mobil 1 filters (packaging says the same for the filter) for my oil change. It runs extremely well! My engine feels great compared to the regular jiffy lube oil change! But I just recently came from Firestone last week while getting my alignment done and overall health check. I used to do oil changes every 5k but it was getting ridiculous changing every month and a half paying $70+ and the engine still feels exceptional. So with Mobil 1 HM I changed it every 8-10k miles. This time around, I topped off the last quart from my 5 quart bottle at 10K and will be doing my oil change at 15k. You can say I am pushing it a bit but I feel inclined to really test the Mobil 1 statement. But, back to Firestone, at the 11k miles of running the same oil. they gave me the news and said it’s still up to manufactures specifications and everything was good! It still runs great! If anything Mobil 1 really makes a difference and. But I’ll be changing oil every 8-10k to be on the conservative side, sure saves a heck a lot of money and not waste oil that’s still good.
I recently replaced my filter with a K&N. I was hoping for a little more felt power and better fuel economy. I've had my 2010 Prius IV for 4 years and have put over 60k miles on it so I'm pretty "in tune" with it. I haven't noticed any difference in either area.
I purchased a 2020 Toyota Prius Prime. That October the windshield cracked in half. Just weeks after total windshield replacement, the windshield cracked in half again. Now almost a year later...our windshield is once again cracked in half. Multiple claims for this matter seems to point to a flaw with the car. I own two older Toyota Prius cars and have never needed to replace their windshields but this Prime is somethin’ else. The Toyota rep claims nothing is wrong with the car and they won’t help repair. This will Be the 3rd claim in 16 months of owning the car.
