Why not converting your car into plugin ?

[@brkinwrx6200]

That magnet you put on the plug scares me. Big bump and now your engine is gone

[@ChowTY42]

You do not need a magnet. The oil filter does the job for you.

[@billrussell1829]

15W50 should not be used in a prius. Your oil cap should state 5W30

[@charlesebyjr2925]

Jack stands are not that expensive! Also I question the weight of oil and maybe you should of displayed filter number, but great video!

[@robertkorn]

Should title this how not to do an oil change. Don't EVER get under a car using that jack. Set a proper jack stand under the car after lifting.

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

I dont usually comment on the way people do things but bloody tyre jack a hell to the NO! Never put your body under the vehicle with this sort of jack! It fails your DEAD!

[@danyAldon]

he literally said not to do that part of what he did

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

@@danyAldon I didn't notice lol coz could you imagine the ppl copying him that'd actually be terrifying

[@Bromon655]

@@danyAldon then why include it in his tutorial? When I'm watching a tutorial, I'm expecting to emulate exactly what the person in the video is doing.

[@cliffdariff74]

He's not UNDER the car. He's reaching his arm.

[@jerrys5764]

I put 10w-40 and thought it might be too thick then I saw you put even thicker oil 15w-50😳. My main reason for putting 10-40 was hot summer and 220,000 miles.

[@camposvazquez]

I have run 5-40 T6 on these engines for years ..the vvt-i is only on the intake side... Engine is slightly quieter .. less of the oil burns off...

[@almightywhitey6955]

Vlad u may have used the wrong oil but tbe rest of the procedure was awesome. ur a legend! a pauper a poet, hek a KING, a king to end all kings!! lmao

[@kaydimarco2802]

What’s the name of the proper oil ?

[@Cooowop]

5w 30 full synthetic ​@@kaydimarco2802

[@RideOp74]

He meant wrong weight it calls for 5W30.

[@TheLandeno83]

Love the video, short and to the point. Just put the right oil in next time, 5w-30

[@mractive420]

Be careful my jack failed on me once good thing I wasn't under it

[@ThatOneGuy-jd3jn]

I threw away mine recently. Always always put your wheels under your car as secondary backup

[@eyeofthedriver]

you should replace the drain plug gasket and also you should not use the tool to tighten the filter. hand tight is plenty tight

[@kaydimarco2802]

Where do find the replacement ? Do you know the name and measurements?

[@eyeofthedriver]

@@kaydimarco2802 it’s M12, can get a pack of them at any parts store, online, or from Toyota of course

[@AnubisOO7]

May I ask why 15w-30 rather than 5w-30?

[@mariamcneill6738]

I could not find the playlist

[@scooter979represent]

Wtf 15w50

[@trustn01rs]

Yea it's never good to add heavier oil than specified on modern engines it's a good way to ruin your motor

[@chrisnunley114]

Hey Vlad, great video. Q: did you have to install a lift kit for the 17s or still factory height?

[@jerrys5764]

Did the thick oil (15w-50) do well?

[@JourneysADRIFT]

Nice TC rims.

[@renmedia]

Oil you use is not recomanded.

[@nwdrums24]

Good video simple and informative 👍.

[@cormachigginshiggins6368]

How come you are using 15w50 oil

[@toyotaprius79]

It seems awfully too thick, especially for an engine that's starting and stopping several times more than a regular engine.

[@hengky2139]

Wrong oil is no good at all😳

[@trustn01rs]

He's a moron

[@roxannamartinez2412]

Thank you so much for this information it really helps

[@americobastidas914]

Exelent

[@gigibaci2638]

Thanks so helpful

[@hymanbjorn6768]

Vlad, Do you have a link to purchase the magnet that you put on the oil drain plug?

[@JustVlads]

I think i used 1/4" cubed magnet but a cylinder one would fit better: amzn.to/315HfPN

[@hymanbjorn6768]

Vlad, What size are the tires on the 17" Scion wheels that you have on the Prius?

[@JustVlads]

i think they are 215/45/17

[@norbreym28]

Should lower car before you check oil

[@MilesTGabourel]

Holy shit my BMW r nine t and Toyota Prius both take 15-50 oil.

[@hymanbjorn6768]

Vlad, Are those 17" or 18" tc wheels on the Prius?

[@JustVlads]

They are 17" scion tc wheels which go on perfectly for the prius.

Toyota must have the best engineers in the world or everyone else is just lazy

[@kaydimarco2802]

I can’t believe this process costs me $80 Seriously I need to learn to do this myself lol

[@tribe97]

pro bro B)

[@Kimoto504]

Gen 2's require synthetic. Synthetic is not optional.

[@chrisnunley114]

No they don't. It states 5W-30 on the oil cap.
