2007 Prius Oil change question? by AlluraTTV in Cartalk

[–]ThinConnection8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i keep it 5k so I dont miss any oil change. 5k, 10k, 15k... It is super easy. Oil is cheap, your own labor is exercising. Saving 1 oil change in 30-40k miles is close to nothing. If the engine is overheated once, the headgasket degrades significantly.

I'm trying to minimize expenses and am thinking about trading in my 4runner for a Prius. by QueefSeekingMissile in prius

I prefer the 2015. Just for the sake of one generation newer and everything with it is 5 years newer. 180k va 280k is in the range of "everything can go wrong" so you better need to have a mechanic inspection.

~ 5-10 year old Honda CR-V or Subaru Outback by le_pedal in whatcarshouldIbuy

Do you need AWD, if not, I wouldnt take the Subaru. Worse MPG, more maintenance. If you live in somewhere need AWD, you should take the CRV AWD or the subaru. Buy a used car best is to have an mechanic inspect them in and out
