[Pre-Dizzle]

I'm seriously burning or leaking oil between changes. I can't see anywhere where it would be leaking, and there's no drips. But I'm putting in like 5 + quarts between changes to keep it topped off.

Anyone experience something like this on a 2013? I'm running full synthetic 5w20.

Why do you use that oil instead of 0w-20? So I read in a Prius forum that a few were losing oil cause of bad PCV. Which is best case scenario. Just google “Prius oil consumption” and you will get a lot of info out there.

My mistake, I do use 0w-20, typo.

Thanks.

I have a 2012, with 110,000 miles. I go through oil at the rate of 1 quart per 5,000 miles. I had the look at it and they said it was normal. We checked for leaks, no leaks. Checked the PVC, all was good. @pbbjitsu is correct, there is a ton of information about Prius oil consumption. In my case, I am going to keep adding oil then dump the car in a few months. I am disappointed in Lexus, I thought I was buying a 300,000 mile car. It only made it 1/3 of what I was expecting.

High Oil Consumption
If the loud braking noise has the number one spot on this list, then the very high oil consumption of the 2011 – 2013 model has to be in second place. The problem here is the design of the 2ZR-FXE engine. This is the same engine used in some generations of the 2010 – 2014 Prius.
Owners report that they have to add 5 quarts of oil between oil changes. This also results in owners running out of engine oil on longer trips, resulting in overheating of the engine and severe engine damage.
Owners of the CT200h have reportedly been told by Lexus dealers that this is regular oil consumption. However, Toyota did issue a technical service bulletin for these engines. However, they only did so for the ones installed in the Prius and had the same problem.
Overall, CT200h owners were left hanging with an engine that uses an incredible amount of oil. The only solution here is to keep refilling the oil whenever you’re running on empty. Furthermore, this high oil consumption will result in more increased wear and tear, which means you’ll have to replace the engine at some point.
