Which Engine Oil Is The Best For My Prius 2016

[MRSKYLIFEHD]

Hey guys I am going to do my first Oil change soon on my 2016 Gen 4 prius.

I went through my car user book and cannot find a reference on which oil to use.

Which one do I use? Should I buy OEM or is there a better alternative engine oil?. I am a taxi driver and want my car running at it's best so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks 👍

Toyota don't recommend brands of oil, just the viscosity and API grade.

Basically good quality 0W-20 oil to API SL, SM, or SN.

Hi, 

your oil should be 0w20. You can buy original Toyota but only from a dealer or use alternative brands. I personally use Petronas 0w20 since 2016 now more than 22 oil changes and it’s been a good one.

Is this the same specs as OEM Tony? If so, looks good at half the price
