1.) Is it OK to wash the car in one of the self cleaning car washes that have the pressure sprayers and the brisstled brushes or would that cause some small scratches on the finish when using the brush?
2.) Is it better to use a Mobil One synthetic oil and is it OK for the owner to change the oil themself or should the dealer do that?
3.) Is the air filter in the engine and cabin easy to replace yourself or does the dealer have to do that too?
4.) I have read that the 87 octane is the prefered gas to use but is one brand of gas better than someone elses like BP compared to Marathon etc?
5.) Should I increase the tire pressure a couple of pounds to improve milage or is the manufacture recommendations OK?
I have been waiting for one year to get a Prius and mine arrives on March 6th. I want to do everything I can to take the best care of it and make it last until the next upgrade Prius arrives in 3 to 5 years.
