Pick my oil for the Prius

[zerosoma]

Next change coming up in a week or so.

Temps are still in the 20s and 30s, nevertheless it's time for a dino fill.

Pick :

Quaker State Advanced Durability (Green bottle)
Valvoline Next Gen Conventional
Valvoline Max Life Syn Blend
A blend of Mobil Special, SOPUS, and whatever else I have sitting on my shelf

If I were you, I'd take advantage of the AAP oil change special on PP and combine it with the SOPUS rebate, so you'd end up with a jug of PP plus a K&N oil filter for ten bucks before sales tax, but that's just me.
Of the oils you've listed, I'm partial to Maxlife based upon my experience with it, including a superb UOA of Nextgen Maxlife from my old BMW, so I'd be inclined to use it.
OTOH, warmer weather seems to me to be the best time to run a mongrel blend, so if you have an assortment of odds and ends to use up, you could go that way.
Any choice you make will keep the Prius happy.

I have absolutely no intention of buying more oil for a long time... thank you for the rebate information though.

What oil did you decide for the LOF change?

QSAD. That is what I am using.
