Consumer Description
I JUST TESTED ALL YEARS FROM 2010 TO 2011 PRIUS, THOSE PRIUS BURNS A LOT OF OIL AT EVERY 2,000 MILES. I DID FILL IT (AT 4.4 QUARTS OF OIL) CORRECTLY IT BUT PRIUS ATE OVER 3 QUARTS IN 2000 MILES. LIKE MANY OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTS THIS ON PRIUSCHAT.COM AND ETC ONLINE FORUMS. I HATE TO SPEND MY MONEY TO BUY MOTOR OILS! WHY THIS PRIUS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION? "WHAT DID THIS HAPPEN?" I JUST PURCHASED 2010 PRIUS ON OCT. 2016. AND I TESTED IT. IT STILL OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR MOTOR OIL. SINCE IT HAPPENED, I STILL CHECK OIL LEVEL AT EVERY 2,000 MILES AND PUT IT SOME MOTOR OIL IN IT UNTIL IT REACH TO 5,000 MILES FOR SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE.
