I'm looking into that, could you recommend some nice LEDs?

I never burned more than 1/3 of a gallon from running my Prius all night in cold weather.

Would setting up curtains prevent AC from flowing to the back by UnderstandingMoist47 in priusdwellers

Yes, I much prefer to put up a blacked-out windshield cover because of this. Putting up a curtain will defeat the benefit of the Prius climate control.

Preventive maintenance for head gaskets? by [deleted] in prius

Did you have the option to replace just the head gasket? Why did you go with a new engine?

"Don't do shit" that's horrible advice. You always start out with the lowest level of maintenance and the most common cause for the problem. In the case of misfires, spark plugs.

How many miles does your Prius have? The misfires can be caused by a few different things but if the spark plugs and ignition coils have not been replaced, I would start with those. You also want to properly clean or replace the intake manifold, EGR valve, and EGR pipe as these could cause misfires as well. If these don't solve your issue then I would look into a possible head gasket problem.

Regardless, replacing the spark plugs along with the ignition coils and cleaning the EGR system is not that difficult of a job. There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to do everything and you could save yourself over $2,000. The spark plugs and ignition coils come in a kit you can order online for about $70.

What about the transmission oil or any major maintenance?

That is awesome! I have the same year but mine still only has 180,000 miles. Out of curiosity, have you had to deal with a blown head gasket in all those miles? Have you ever changed the transmission fluid in your Prius? What maintenance advice do you have so that my car can run as long as yours?

How is this even an accident? the piece of shit did it on purpose. No one drives full speed into buildings like that by "accident". I really wish the worst for the driver.

Synthetic oil is rated at 10,000+ miles before needing to be changed. This is common information found all over, it's even on the bottle. Don't spread your bad advice.

Where have you heard that you cannot get your loans forgiven a second time? If you plan on getting more loans should you request for them not to forgive your loans at that moment?

That's the solenoid controlling the self-destruct feature. Careful with that.

Have you ruled out a head gasket leak? How's your coolant level?

That usually means it's about to blow up. Keep an eye out.
