  1. I have sold my lancer & bought a Prius 3rd Gen (UK imported version) recently. What should be the correct engine oil viscosity for my car? Mfd. Year: 2010 Mileage: 35300 miles (approx. 56800 km) Driving conditions: weekdays very low traffic around 30 km per day / weekends long distance around 200km every weekend Yesterday the full service was done from Cl**n Pa*k and after that fuel economy reduced to 35 mpg on average. Usually it is between 50 - 55 MPG. Oil type used: Toyota 0W-20 SN Air filter replaced Oil filter replaced What could be the issue?
  2. hi guys today i pumped Rs.4000 worth petrol to my new prius gen3 and drove from nuggegoda to navinna. i checked my fuel meter just after pumping petrol, it indicates 4 gauges. but on my way to Navinna i noticed a drop of one gauge which is impossible for a prius. then again on my way back to Nugegoda it gained that lost gauge and i was surprised....hehe this is not the first time and few days back same thing happened when i was travelling to dabulla. that day i pumped rs 2000 worth petrol on top of the petrol which was there already and statrted heading towards Dabulla and as i reached Kurunagala i suddenlly notice that iam out of petrol, the last gauge was blinking so i pumped another Rs 4000 worth petrol. then i saw 7 gauges in fuel indicator, i was happy and start driving again. after driving for 6 km again it drop down to 6 gauges. after another 12km it drop down to 5 gauges then to 5 gauges in another 23km. I was shocked. At the end, there was only 3 gauges on the indicator when i reached Dabulla. on the next day when i start the car the indicator showed 5 gauges again and i was more shocked....hehe. so i took the car to few garages near by dabulla but they didnt know much abt the matter. at the end of the day i managed to get the indicator back upto 6 gauges after driving around Dabulla city and belive me when i say this, on the second day i head back to colombo without pumping any more petrol and i lost only 2 gauges from the 6 gauges i had. still i cant figure it out what cause the issue. so i googled it and found this http://priuschat.com/threads/reset-2009-gas-gauge.130111/ Reset 2009 Gas Gauge1. Park the vehicle so as it is level,front to back and side to side.​ 2. IgOn and make sure that "Trip A " is showing on the odo ( this is where we made a mistake).​ 3. Power down.​ 4. Keep your foot off the brake.​ 5. Push in and hold down the Odo/Trip button.​ 6. Push the Power button twice to IgOn ( not Ready mode ).​ 7. Turn the Odo/Trip off then On 3 times in 5 seconds.​ 8. Continue holding the Odo/Trip button until a 6 digit code appears.​ 9. Release,then push again the Odo/Trip button for another 5 seconds. The 6 digit code will change to a 5 digit code.​ 10. After the middle digit,of the 5 digit code,changes to "1" release the Odo/Trip button and the odometer will return to normal readin but its not working for my car coz my car is 3gen guys plz help me to figure out this issue. or if u know how to reset gas gauge for 3gen plz let me know thankx Chamila
  3. Hello fellows, I'm kinda asking because Im curious - I own a 3rd gen 1.8ltr prius. If I compete with same priced gasoline vehicles like Mazda 3(1.6), Honda civic(1.6), Lancer EX (1.6), Toyota axio (1.5),(without mods) which one will win? your ideas?
  4. Hi, there are two montero sports at my office with ODO at 45000km and 12000km. during the usage period of 45000km we happened to replace the brake pads 5 times and the vehicle with 12000km had front brake pads replaced once at 10000km. When I spoke to Uni**d Motors they say its normal as a brake pad is only expected to last from 10000km to 15000km distance. Meanwhile we have a montero 2013 and several prius cars, non of those giving trouble like this, one prius got a brakepad replacement only after 100,000km. What might be the reason for such wear-off.
  5. Hi All, Is 2011 2nd gen prius available? There are ads saying that its 2011? Is it true?
  6. Ive just signed up for this site and all ive been seeing are that anytime someone puts up a question about a hybrid, flocks of users keeps insulting them on their vehicle. I really dont see what they have to hate them so much?? I own a prius 3rd gen and i can tell from over 2 years of use that although it may not be in the same class and far from the of looks as an exotic or be anywhere near a sports car in performance it does serve its purpose better than any other car ive used so far. Ive been using a 121 and ive been using beemers and several other US models and ive experienced first handed that this prius is much more reliable and much economical in every sense compared to other cars of the SAME price range. I am an avid lover of tuned modified cars and the prius does not make those come true but it still is one of the best cars ive ever driven. To anyone looking for a car which is reliable or economical i would recommend a prius although if looking for a cheap car it would not be bad to get a used 121 or civic (i am not a environmental freak btw though i do care for it :| ) The prius saves me a lot on gas and i mean a lot. i drive over 3000km per month both in colombo and to outstation locations. during long distance driving i ususally get over 20kmpl but if not going agressively i can get around 30kmpl while going at 50-70kmph. in rush hour traffic i get varying mileage while sometimes it may drop to 16kmpl but usually about 19-22kmpl. and considering the price of fuel it is a great saving considering i dont even have to use 95 octane. i was going to buy an allion 2011 but decided against it as the prius was full of options unlike the allion. someone here suggested that i test the pre collision system by driving at a wall or tree... and i did try it. but i instead drove it at a pile of cardboard boxes and for their info it did stop automatically without hitting it. and the radar cruise control is also a useful feature but i dont use it much considering our three wheel drivers and motor bikes. other maintenance stuff is also lower as the service has to be done only every 10000km and there is no need to change ATF oil or any belts. ive been using it for 40000km and the brake pads are almost like brand new. (in the corolla i would have to replace every 25000) the only problem is the stock ture size that came in the touring mode. the 17" 215 tires are a bit expensive but this problem is not there in the regular JP prius. ive yet to replace a single mechanical part and there have been no issues at all except that i drained the 12V battery once by listening to the radio in ACC mode for too long. another benefit is when the car is stopped you can use the AC without burning fuel. the performance is nowhere near a BMW or an american car but it does provide more power than the majority of vehicles in sri lanka (outside inner colombo ) and the acceleration response is better because of the motors. and in PWR mode it feels much better than an insight in S mode (though the sound of the engine is not at all sporty... sounds like an aircraft taking off) On the contrary to what people say, the battery is as reliable as any other part of the car and the chance of your battery failing is almost nil unless you treat it badly which is the same for a gasoline car if you do not maintain the engine it will be damaged. and the battery can now be repaired by changing damaged cells which are about 7000 rupees only. and i believe a reason people insult hybrid owners are because they drive slowly. thats the fault of the driver, not the car.. driving slow will not make it more efficient and ive seen people in jaguars and BMWs going slower than that. to all who think hybrids are cheap vehicles. just because they are relatively cheap here, in japan they are about two time more expensive when used than a brand new allion.. AND i know some here are going to say im jobless to be typing this yeah. true. im doing this just because some people dont care about saving their hard earned money that doesnt mean they should insult others who do try. anyone who has any questions im willing to provide answers to the best i can. and im open to any comments why your'll hate hybrids so much (P.S i did hate them before i bought one... so you should try it without being prejudiced)
  7. Hi guys, Got my JDM imported civic EG4 . Used for track days and as a grocery getter. Here are a few specs and upgrades done to the car by me: 1. HKS titanium exhaust 2. 16 inch Borbet rims 3. type r badges 4. TEIN shocks 5. upgraded brakes The car is sitting low compared to the corolla next to it and the handling for a car that weighs 980kg's is awesome (can corner a bend at 85km/h easy . will be upgrading the engine to a B16A one day hopefully. The car currently makes 125bhp, give me some your thoughts and ideas to help me make this beast into a better monster track and street car. ohh and what about the prius hating sticker? lol. Yes i do downshift whenever I see a prius, prius drivers hate me lool . The sticker would be good in sri lanka as well considering the amount of those hideous cars on the road.
  8. Hi, in my car ive got 215/45/R17 91W bridgestone turanze tires now. i am looking for replacements and all replacements are like over 25000 rupees O.o in the earlier car it was 10000 per tire for japanese bridgestones.... anyone have any suggestions for good replacements at reasonable price. i am not looking for low quality chinese tires. nor do i think i require racing grade tires
  9. I hope this site is not already posted. (did a search) this site shows almost all car models with User submitted fuel economy. obviously a US or UK site but we can get a idea which models are better at fuel economy than others http://www.fuelly.com/ you can also check in different units: US | UK | L/100km | km/L KM/L for our understanding.. amazingly Corolla is not doing good fuel economy as they say in SL http://www.fuelly.co.../toyota/corolla http://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/prius http://www.fuelly.co...r/honda/insight http://www.fuelly.com/car/mazda/3 http://www.fuelly.com/car/mazda/2
