Full synthetic provides the most stable protection and is the specified oil type for the 2019 Toyota Prius-C (SAE 0W-20).
Conventional oil is refined petroleum; synthetic blend mixes conventional with synthetic; full synthetic is engineered for better cold-start flow, oxidation resistance, and deposit control. For Prius-C efficiency and hybrid engine protection—especially in variable Central Indiana weather—Toyota calls for full-synthetic 0W-20.
