Through my experience as a Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician, these are 5 things that I see hybrid owners do to their hybrid cars that you should never do.

Please Don't do this to your Toyota Hybrid. I discuss 5 things you should not do to your Toyota hybrid or any hybrid model in general. I also explain why you shouldn't do them in detail.

First issue is Don't spill large amounts of water over the back seat or over the area where the hybrid battery is

Second issue is Don't leave the fuel door on your Toyota hybrid open for more than 30 minutes before refueling.

Third issue is Don't use B-Mode or engine braking in your Toyota hybrid when not needed. It not only decreases your gas mileage but it also puts stress on the hybrid system.

Fourth issue is Never overfill your Toyota hybrid with engine oil. This goes for every car but for hybrids it's worse as they tend to pool the oil in the intake.

Fifth issue is Never jump start another non hybrid car from your Toyota hybrid. You can however jump start another Toyota hybrid without issues.

And as a Bonus for the awesome viewers that watch this video to the end I show you how to jump start most Toyota hybrids.

This applies to all Toyota and Lexus hybrid models including Camry Hybrid Avalon hybrid Highlander hybrid Corolla Hybrid Prius Prius c Prius v RAV4 hybrid RAV4 prime Prius prime 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid 2021 Toyota Sienna hybrid and more.

Questions? Comment or email please note that it takes me sometime to get back to you via email but I always will in the end.

    1) Don't spill water in the back seat (Know where your battery is) 2) Don't leave the gas cover open longer than 30 min (or you will spray gas everywhere) 3) Don't use "B" mode all day (the downshifted mode +/-) 4) Don't overfill your oil (check levels when engine is warm) 5) Don't jump start a non-hybrid car

    I don't even have a Toyota hybrid, or any hybrid for that matter. Still watched the whole thing.

    Here is another helpful tip for Toyota Hybrid owners: I have a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. I changed the engine air filter, but I forgot to reconnect the small electrical connector that goes to the engine air cleaner housing. When I started it up, I got a 'check engine' warning, and a 'hybrid system malfunction' warning. Since I had just changed the engine air filter, I immediately realized that I had forgotten to reconnect the small electrical connector. After I reconnected the small electrical connector to the engine air filter housing, the check engine light went away, but the 'hybrid system malfunction' warning persisted. After checking out a Youtube video on the subject, I disconnected the negative battery terminal (under the hood, inboard next to the fuse block) and waited about 5 minutes. When I reconnected the negative battery terminal and started it up, the 'hybrid system malfunction' warning went away, and now my car is just fine.

    I have always had trouble with being told what to do without being told WHY to do it. You are a great teacher. The more I learn from you, the more I realize why good maintenance is important, and the more motivated I am to care for my car. May the Lord bless and keep you too, brother.

    Owned a 2007 Toyota Camery Hybrid. 247,000 miles on it before selling. Not one problem with the car. Have my new 2022 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Loving it as well.

    I love hybrids so quiet, reliable and the fuel consumption is really good. I love it.
  • @kevinharrington726
    Big fan of this guy! I feel he is honest, sincere and trustworthy! God bless you and your family!!!
  • @derekcockburn820
    I'm from Scotland. I've watched your videos and decided to buy a Toyota Rav4. Managed to get a 2022 model and I'm loving it! Thanks for all the info I gathered from your videos, there great!!!!!
  • @mattroark2484
    I just bought my first hybrid. I knew there were going to be differences from a conventional vehicle, and this video was awesome! Thanks for the great info!
  • @rickelliott3277
    I just purchased a 2021 Corolla hybrid and absolutely love it. I feel so grateful to have found this Chanel. Outstanding information every hybrid owner should know. I feel like I want to send you money for such excellent advice. What a great resource you are. NEVER STOP doing what your doing 😀
  • I have no hybrid (maybe one day), but I have watched the video and found it very interesting. I have seen comments (or replies to comments) saying the video too long. Really ? If you don't have 20 min to learn what not to do, and to understand WHY you shouldn't do, you are probably the kind of people that never open your car user manual. And then, when a problem occurs by your fault, you will say "I didn't know, nobody told me". I have never owned a Toyota either, but I find this channel very interesting since there is always something to learn from experience and skilled people like the owner of this channel. BTW, I have just subscribed.
  • Know zilch about hybrids until I discovered your channel. Have learnt so much. You explain everything in a simplistic manner and I can't thank you enough.
  • @TheFather_
    the things i learned in this video about hybrid cars worth more than 10 years of what i learned from owing one, thank you so much for sharing these valuable information.
  • @rizzpas2942
    Contemplating on getting a Rav4 Hybrid. I just realize I know nothing about hybrids. So THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video, very informative!
  • @use5555
    Man, I just caught this video and all I can say is thank you. I learned so much from this one that now I have to see your whole series. I have a Prius 2017, so you have been very informative, Thanks again,
  • I have a 2023 highlander hybrid, my first hybrid. I love it. Thanks for the tips and I am looking to install practical mods for this like a sport roof rack! A future mods playlist of videos would be beyond helpful!

    For the jumpstart situation, I'd suggest people purchase a handheld portable jump start kit. Easy to keep it charged up in the vehicle. Most have a built in flashlight in emergencies, can use it to jump any standard vehicle ( diesel engine/ large trucks might need a larger cranking amps).
  • @johngowland
    Having recently bought a Toyota Hybrid New edition I have found your vids incredible. Well done sir, and keep them coming. A pleasure to watch as well.
  • @tsivanathan
    Have signed my papers for a 2022 Highlander Hybrid XLE, wait is about 5 months, excited and a little anxious, thanks a ton for all your videos.!!!!
