The Toyota Prius of 2012 requires 0w-20 oil and 4.4 quarts capacity for an oil change. It is important to maintain regular oil changes every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine problems. Using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Neglecting oil changes can lead to issues such as a burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to avoid any potential hazards like engine failure or poor gas mileage. Additionally, unusual sounds like knocking from the engine may indicate oil-related problems.
