I'm going to do some oil changes next week, maybe I'll also post some pictures.
spilled too much oil!
IT WAS REALLY HOT here in st. louis
, I opened up an engine completely, have to get this crank "turned" so hopefully we will see what happens.

Any reason you're using 5w30? Weren't the 1NZ-FXE Priusi back spec'ed to 5w20? I only know this because I have a Yaris with the 1NZ-FE which wasn't back spec'ed to 5w20 with all the other Toyotas, all though many Yari owners have used 5w20 with no problems.

Mmmm, my manual states 5w30. I've mostly used that with good results (uoa's with low wear). 5w20 oil no matter the brand seems to stir up more of a racket in the engine for some reason. I'll probably stick with what works.

Two points of misinformation:
1. Back spec'ed doesn't mean you HAVE to use the new oil, it just means that it is acceptable. 5W-30 is a perfect weight for this vehicle.
2. Every 1NZ motor (both ECHO and Yaris) have been approved for 20 weight oils. Check the TGMO Application Chart.

Only the fake canada chart says that the 1NZ-FE has been approved for 5w-20. There is no TSB within TIS that is showing the info. 5w-30 is the correct oil for the 04-09 Prius.

Haha you`re just like me! I always celebrate an oil change with a few coldies :^) Usually one while I`m draining it,one while it`s draining,and one after it`s all bolted back up :^D

I WISH I could have 74 degrees at any time in June. . . .
