Never do THIS to your Toyota Hybrid New edition!

Through my experience as a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician, these are 5 things that I see hybrid owners do to their hybrid cars that you should never do.
Please Don't do this to your Toyota Hybrid. I discuss 5 things you should not do to your Toyota hybrid or any hybrid model in general. I also explain why you shouldn't do them in detail.
First issue is Don't spill large amounts of water over the back seat or over the area where the hybrid battery is
Second issue is Don't leave the fuel door on your Toyota hybrid open for more than 30 minutes before refueling.
Third issue is Don't use B-Mode or engine braking in your Toyota hybrid when not needed. It not only decreases your gas mileage but it also puts stress on the hybrid system.
Fourth issue is Never overfill your Toyota hybrid with engine oil. This goes for every car but for hybrids it's worse as they tend to pool the oil in the intake.
Fifth issue is Never jump start another non hybrid car from your Toyota hybrid. You can however jump start another Toyota hybrid without issues.
And as a Bonus for the awesome viewers that watch this video to the end I show you how to jump start most Toyota hybrids.
This applies to all Toyota and Lexus hybrid models including Camry Hybrid Avalon hybrid Highlander hybrid Corolla Hybrid Prius Prius c Prius v RAV4 hybrid RAV4 prime Prius prime 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid 2021 Toyota Sienna hybrid and more.
Questions? Comment or email please note that it takes me sometime to get back to you via email but I always will in the end.

If Toyota release 4Runner hybrid, do you recommend using a separate charger plugged into the rear of the vehicle if I want to jumpstart non-hybrid vehicle?

[@bmw35bk]

Hi, thank you for great informative video. I just bought a 2022 corolla hybrid today, and it showed the error "hybrid system malfunction" Very disappointed. what do you think what cause this? The car left outside for weeks in the cold -10 to -25 C. I'm not sure if that that weather would kill batteries. I'm still waiting for the answer from dealer. I don't think they will be honest with me what acutally cause it.

[@acurtis7]

1) Don't spill water in the back seat (Know where your battery is) 2) Don't leave the gas cover open longer than 30 min (or you will spray gas everywhere) 3) Don't use "B" mode all day (the downshifted mode +/-) 4) Don't overfill your oil (check levels when engine is warm) 5) Don't jump start a non-hybrid car

[@mikec1096]

The why is typically more important that the what. It's almost a variation on the teach a man to fish parable.

[@edwardcullen1739]

Yeah, this attitude is a two-edged thing. Many people have the "I don't understand why, so I'm gonna do my own thing". When it comes to machines, believing the people who built it is generally a safe bet, even if you don't understand why. Of course, there are other areas of life where distrusting people who tell you to do things without good explanation proves to be the correct thing...

[@gmjsimmons]

@@edwardcullen1739 Yeah, your advice is sound. My previous son-in-law believed that oil changes were a scam inflicted by the auto-petroleum industry. His vehicles lasted a surprisingly short time. And if you bought one of his used, you were getting a terrible deal, even if the price was low.

[@lightman489]

I bought my first hybrid in November a Camry and I had a feeling that I should look up information from someone who knows more about it than me and here I find a Toyota mechanic. As soon as I found out about the battery fan and filter I knew with this car groceries will never be in the back seat and vacuum cleaner would be this car's best friend. I'm also guilty of putting bags of ice in the back seat during summer not no more. And the fuel door for now on I'll pop it just before filling. I'll be sure to share your channel at the Toyota dealership in Las Vegas I'm also going to share this with my sales person. And when that 12v battery goes out I won't be jumping it I'll be replacing it so I don't blow any computer. Finally I used to use premium discount fuel stations now I use top tier 87 conoco because it's just up the street.

Thanks for making this information easy, accessible, and well laid out! I love the timestamps to help navigate the videos 💖

[@loglog271]

Not trying to be rude to you. But you've said you've had 3 Priuses in 5 years that's a massive turn over of cars for one family. It's not very good for the environment. Hybrids and electric cars take more power to produce than regular cars. If you don't keep them for a long time it will have a bigger c02 footprint. We need to keep cars for 20 years, rather than get a new one every couple of years. Sorry I'm not trying to be rude. The problem is the throw away society

[@RajPatel-rj2ff]

@ Lewis Groves. A person doesn’t need to keep the same car for 20 years. It just needs to sold to someone. I agree all vehicles should be kept on the road as long as possible.

@@loglog271 They stated their *family* has had 3 of them, I'd assume that is across multiple people rather than one single person replacing their car 3 times within 5 years.

reminder the advice in the video is not to jumpstart *another* car - so if someone asks you for a jumpstart, yes, you could let them borrow yr portable jumpstarter :-)

[@richardstefans3501]

Costco usually has them in stock.

[@apfel997]

It is very well possible to jumpstart another vehicle without problems if your 12V Battery is in good shape and charged. It is important to keep the hybrid system disconnected from the process: the hybrid vehicle needs to be turned off so the systems wont try to "compensate" for the high current demand the jumpstarted car demands while behing started. Be aware this should only be done with smaller petrol engines as diesels or very large engines reqire too much current. Also only try to jumpstart the other vehicle maximum 1-2 times and only a short duration cause it will put a lot of stress on your 12V battery (which is small compared to "normal" vehicles).

[@user-lu4qm3cs8i]

Love your channel. You are a fantastic orator and instructor.

It depends on the vehicle b/c some are designed in such a way that the dots on the dipstick correlate to cold oil temp and some for hot. I have read the manuals on all of my cars and some others and it does vary by car. So do not apply this to just any car.

Tip from experience. IF you don't drive your hybrid for a long period/vacation of time,3 weeks & over ,especially in summer your 12volt batterie will get drained.you can't charge this back up once it died, it done.This isn't your common batterie common 12volt batterie,you can only find at the dealer.they cost 0ver $300 +install if cant do it yourself.. So do yourself a favor and unplug it..for long period of not in use..this is a big one never mention.

Thank you for your Toyota Hybrid instructions! 👍 After thoroughly researching, I bought a beautiful 2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE Sedan. Very reliable and does 52 miles per gallon.

I don't have a hybrid, but may have in the future. Very useful info. Thank you

Thanks for your video! I have an 09 Camry hybrid and I’ve been letting the dealership change the oil. Every time I check the oil it’s always way above the second dipstick marking… next time I get an oil change I’ll be sure to tell them to nock it off. Hopefully my intake isn’t already all nasty; could be the reason why I have occasional engine nock that they can’t seem to diagnose.

Great tips. I've definitely done the accidental oil overfill on my cars.
