Be careful in what you read and how you read it.... Toyota TSB EG050-04 for the years 01-06 Prius's states the 'Recommended Viscosity" for the Prius per this Toyota TSB is 5W-30.

TSB # EG018-06 is for all 'OTHER' Toyota vehicles and even states for Prius vehicles refer to the TSB EG050-04 as mentioned above.

Continue to use 5W-30 for your Prius.
