Actually it's not recommended to travel long distance during run in period. If you have to do it, try to stop frequently to let the engine rest.

I'm not sure about Toyota, but I know for Singapore side, they using 5w30 castrol in drums and now it's in my engine... I can feel the sluggish acceleration, and the 5min FC page, the right bar mostly below 20km/l instead of before servicing which maintains around 28 to 30km/l.

From what I search, the original oil that comes shipped with the Prius C is 0w20 or 5w20, and we are suppose to use that rating....

Also from reading this forum, I thought Malaysia Toyota provide W20 oil for Prius C?

For Prius, we can actually use W20 as our car engine is either assisted, or not running. For Prius owners with four season, they are using W20 through out the season as stated in their manual. During the summer, it's so much hotter than where we are.

As for the hand brake, no adjustment was done.

I'm lazy to type because my main aim is the 20, there are 0w-20 and 5w-20. The 0 and the 5 is useful only for cold weather. The viscosity during extreme cold temp which is usless in our countries because we are always hot

Mobil 1 actually have this test tube thing for comparing the 20 30 40 50 with a ball bearing inside. The ball bearing slight the fastest among all due to low viscosity.

Oil thin out when temperature, which is why we need certain viscosity, for Prius case, unless you always go beyond power zone, there is no benefit at all to use higher which causes more drag on the piston as well as those cranks and cams.

Added on November 9, 2012, 11:12 amI'm not sure about the Malaysia side, do you all have free servicing for certain mileage which means engine oil included? or you get to choose your own EO or able to bring your own EO?

My manual in car, will read it during lunch and feedback =)

Then u can be like me liao, DIY oil change, jack the car up and drain it. But it's a waste of the new oil that UMW just put in...

Maybe you can stop every 1 hr for 5 mins. If I'm not wrong, there are a few that collected car at Penang and drove back immediately to KL?

Anyway if you read the manual, they mention do not drive for prolong period during breaking in.

Also from Manual, can use EO from W20 to W50 for all range of temperature in our countries.

Yep, I just bought 4 btl of 0w20, if tonight on the way back can't get 27km/l which is my norm, gonna change them out tomorrow morning.

Suppose to be, before oil change I drive at 90kph, still easily achieve. So I will try again tonight =)

Added on November 9, 2012, 3:28 pmHave you try Esso? Or only Petron at your area now?

Wah sian, dunno when Melaka change to Petron... I know JB will be the last. Right now Esso is giving me 27 to 30 before servicing.

Congrats! Just drive it normal u will get very good FC already!

Is the scangauge ii able to read km/l? Mostly see mpg only.

I'm getting it from eBay, what I wan to monitor is the state of charge, rpm and the % on the accelerator. I'm always using the 5 min consumption to get good FC but that page doesn't have the state of charge and ev.

It's actually in my want list prior to collecting my pc, but I wanna try my own right foot, guess it's still good to have as a lot of info can be display

As I'm at Singapore side, no tax for anything less than SGD 400. But last time I ever sent a brand new laptop from Australia to my wife at Melaka, she didn't have to pay a single cent to collect the Laptop at Post office(no one was at home at time of delivery).

But the thing is, alot of sellers don't like to ship it to Malaysia Maybe we can set up a group buy or something.

I will go and find out if there are more PC owners interested, when I go back to Melaka, I can pass it to you guys?

I bet one of this days our car will be recall for something. Today, otw back, extreme jam, stuck for 1 hr still manage 17km/l, if it's my old car, I guess only 5km/l. But when low batt, the engine keep on kick in to recharge, very irritating....

Back in malacca, travelling 105 to 110 give FC of around 23, very impressive.

My experience is my service center change it to 30 weight EO. If not wrong, service center in Malaysia provide 20 weight oil, unlike Singapore.

Yes, from JB to malacca uses less than 10 liter of fuel, toll is 5rm more than fuel now...
