[QUOTE="Chip Dugan, post: 4004"] My 2010 burns an enormous amount of oil. More than any vehicle I have ever owned. I purchased the vehicle at 135k and now have 220k. These are highway miles and I live where there are no mountains. Its all flat. I buy toyota oil filters in bulk and have made all the oil changes on my own. Have always used recommended oil. I have never let the oil go below the lower level mark on the dip stick. I check it almost every day and it really has become an annoyance to do so. My prius should not be burning oil at this rate even with the high miles on the vehicle. I keep the car in a heated garage as well. There are no oil drippings or marks on the floor. I am a firm believer that if you take car of an engine there should be no reason for the major parts of the engine to fail, ever. There should be no reason why the engine major components should need to be repaired or replaced. Pistons and rings ? That is nonsense unless faulty parts were used in the manufacturing process. Toyota is leaving a bad taste with our family. Our 2000 Toyota tundra truck, 90k miles, frame is almost completely rusted through and is no longer road worthy. Yes. 90k miles. [/QUOTE]
