Hello,

I just went to oilchangers, yes that’s the actual name of the establishment

They forgot to tell me that I need my car off during the oil change… I drive a 2020 Prius.

They said it was fine as long as it wasn’t spitting oil back out and the car is a hybrid system.

Am I being lied to? This is my first time getting one on my own

    You’re fine if the engine didn’t run during the oil change.

    Also, you’d be WAY better off doing your own oil change in the driveway than going to a quick-lube place. It’ll cost the same or maybe a few bucks more, but you’ll know what oil and filters are being used and you’ll know it’s being done right.

    Being a hybrid would have made you a bit lucky. It switches to the traction battery when on standstill (exceptions apply) . So maybe you got away with it .

    But its just common sense to turn off your engine when you are replacing the engine oil 🤷🏻‍♂️
