A friend of mine recently purchased a 2008 Prius w/170,000 miles. The car was a 1 owner and was always serviced at a local Toyota dealer. He said the maintenance on the car was first rate with oil changes (Toyota brand 5W30 dino) every 4,000 miles and all recommended maintenance performed on time (records are in the Toyota database)...the car looks and drives like it has 50K miles. He immediately took it in and had an oil change installing Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 (previous owner said it did not use any oil between changes). He's concerned maybe it wasn't a good idea to switch to synthetic with so many miles on dino (he also mentioned that the dealer performed a "protec engine flush" on the car at about 130K miles). I told him I didn't think there would be any issues with seals, etc. and he should be OK with the synthetic despite the mileage...sound OK?
