Not sure of the details. In fact, I'm not sure if he said Prius. I was just assuming that because the TCH is so new. But perhaps it was the TCH. His main point was that they always use Toyota recommended weights and there's a reason for their recommendation.

Your comment about the pressure after engine start sounds similar to what he was saying. He thought he also said it was in cold weather that the problem occurred.
