I just came across your video; I was raised in FL - and conch peas were a staple. Now, I'm living in the midwest and one cannot get conch peas out here. So - I grew my own. Blanched and froze 'em, and today, I'm finally going to cook 'em. Thank you for taking me back to my mom's kitchen. Fingers crossed!

Do you still have it? I want to change an air filter. Also my tire pressure light is on all the time with proper air in tires, also changed the tire plugs a few times.

We just sold it with almost 300k miles. Air filter is super easy. Its a large box with clips inside the engine compartment the bottom of the filter will be dirty. Change it every 3 months when you change your oil... No matter what! You will need to take your car into the shop for the tires. The light is on because your TPMS (tier pressure monitoring system) needs to be replaced in each tire. This happens when each sensor battery goes bad on each tire about every 3-4 years.

Essentially the oil has to be super thin because the engine never has a chance to warm up. Warm oil is more viscous - less resistant to movement. Cold oil in a hybrid either has to be less resistant to movement when cold... Because it is constantly stopping and never warms up.

I have an oil socket that fits but some brands use different sizes. One size does not fit all. I bought an adjustable spring loaded oil filter socket at Walmart that does great! I do lubricate my new oil filter with oil and hand tighten when reinstalling. You have to be careful about over tightening. I have seen oil filters on too tight... It's not pretty. And there's not a lot of room down there to mess with a filter that tears in half because you couldn't get it off with a wrench.

I've been using a K&N oil filter, it has a nice small socket bolt head on the end so you don't have to stab the old filter off. I wipe the drain plug with a rag and place a dot of oil on it when reinstalling the bolt so it doesn't get stuck to the case next time. As below, pre-filling a filter is a nice touch. And I always wipe oil around the rubber seal so it seats nicely against the case. My dad taught me that, he use to be a service mechanic in his early days.

There could be lots of reasons for average MPG drop. Most don't have anything to do with Oil. If your battery is old, you could be running mostly on the gas engine. Best MPG is inner city driving, so if you switched to Highway, then your MPG could drop. If you drive more at night, or if the outside temp went up and you use the AC the MPG could go down. You have to think about all of the reasons your gas engine comes on and your car switches out of electric mode. I don't know enough about your situation to tell you why your average dropped.

Go with the manufacturer 12 mo/10k miles (I have switched to every 6 mo on mine) but change the air filter more often. Like every 3 months. I don't care what the manufacturer says, that's an open loop. Sand and dirt gets in there and messes up piston rings.

With Modern engines tuning is simply changing the spark plugs and air filter. The truth is... for modern tuning... Putting in high flow air filters and high flow exhaust does absolutely nothing unless you change the engine computer settings. Adding cold air intakes fuel injected engines are a waste of money because the computer compensates for the extra O2 and regulates the fuel to perform at factory specs.

All the synthetic filters that come up on an Amazon search don't have a plastic casing around it, but look like open fans. Is that what I will need for my Prius 3? Maybe it is a bit different than a Prius C and one opens a filter cannister and replaces the guts and replaces it? Thanks so much, you made me realize I could do my own oil changes again after all these years. My local oil change centers charge $88 for synthetic oil! And there is a good chance they didn't use a synthetic filter, so that means there is no extension of time and one still needs to change the oil at 3000 miles! Thanks for your fantastic video.

The 0w20 oil is for emissions. Today's cars must have lower emissions, which means getting up to operating temperature NOW. Buying the absolutely cheapest oil or what's on the best sale is a poor excuse, since I can go to WalMart and get a 5 qt bottle of 0w20 full synthetic and filter for a good price. I drive in the Los Angeles area, and my hybrid is equally reliable at 35 deg and in summer at 105 deg.

0W only refers to the cold temp viscosity. It's good down to -40 F degrees. The engine cooling system maintains the engine at the proper top end of the heat spectrum. 5W is good down to -25 degrees F. The second number in 0W20 (the 20) refers to the oils viscosity at 100 degrees F. Since your engine maintains the temp with the radiator and an electric fan I would always buy 20 if you can, but if it's not available you could probably get away with anything close in a mild climate.

I always pour new oil into the filter through the outside holes. Something I have done since I started servicing heavy equipment back in 1972. I hate to see the oil pressure light stay on red for too long. The strap wrench that plugs into your extension makes the whole ordeal a bit easier. Try putting a plastic bag over the filter before you take it off it will make it a lot cleaner to deal with. If anyone ever gets a filter stuck and NOTHING will help, I have driven large screwdrivers through the filter and got it off that way. Thanks 14mm info will save me a trip from under my yuppy rig.

Great tip about the bag around the old filter, I'll start using that. I also fill the new filter about 90% of the way and take my finger, dip it in the oil left in the new filter and "grease" the gasket with it. Helps get a better seal and prevent binding I think. I also wipe the old oil filter surface with a paper towel.
