@authmaax the oil system is only needed for the engine when its running, the reason for the oil is to keep the engine lube while running, with out it, the engine parts will overheat and siezed in no time, the electic motor doesnt need oil!!!!! hope this helps.
Old cars sound cool when they turn over, newer cars sound stupid when they turn over, and these don't turn over at all. Steady decrease in the automobile industry makes me sick. What can we do though? You can't even make a newer engine sound loud and cool these days.
Add my 2010 Prius V to the list, has 12,500 miles and does the same thing for 3 to 6 seconds! I will try and video this also and post it. the more people post it the better chance Toyota looks into it.
This is my first Toyota but i have to say I'm disappointed, I'm a huge Ford guy and i absolutely wanted to love this Prius but i might just trade it in for a Focus EV now. It not only has an engine knock it also rattles inside like a cheap econobox, this is a $32,000 Prius V! WTF was i thinking!
@DAFTEK Dude don't repeat your mistake. You bought first year of a very complicated car. Just read about ford hybrid battery issues. Do not buy first year of a super complicated car. Do you think ford mechanics are going to know how to fix ur your ev. How many years of experience do they have troubleshooting these cars? You are paying the price for being on cutting edge. I would suggest you buy extended warranty on your prius and keep bitching. Toyota has the best chance because of volume.
@DAFTEK it is normal for toyotas and hondas to have that engine knock. you do not want a toyota or honda without it. that being said the prius also uses a different type of ice engine. may it be old technology in a new car its still very reliable and gets the job done. its a atkinson engine so they are always a little loud. but it will last longer than any other car on the market. its not uncommon for them to last over 500k miles
The A/C compressor is electrically driven, so it does make that sound as it runs. It's basically a pump.... There is a setting in the ECU to reduce the speed (and noise) but it will also reduce cooling performance. The dealer can set it for you.
People online are talking about the shaking/banging when cold. Try neutral as soon as you hear/feel it. Someone else says (while in park) push down on the gas pedal and it smooth it out for him.
Also, if you start the prius with the air conditioner on (auto button for air conditioner on and lit up) engine will make loud buzzing noise. It's a little irritating, but knowing it's a normal "abnormal" takes the worry away. My 2010 prius makes a HORRIBLE rattling, clanking, grinding noise seconds after I start it. The car shakes. I immediately turn the power off, wait a few seconds and restart. The re-start is still a little rough but not as bad as the original bad start. Dealer has no answer
What a turd. wtf sounds like a saw.

no it misses the point of the question, but thanks anyway.
have you ever heard of the "myth"... "must let the engine idle for 10 seconds after a cranking..."
this engine goes from dead stop .. meaning... all oil resting in the sump to full acceleration well abo 2500 rpm in less than one second...
question is how come by design the old good practice rule does not apply to this engine.
in normal combustion engines a good oil relocation + priming gives extensive good results in terms of wear

who is the oil pump n thie engine.. is it electric too?
is the lubrication system always primed?
a cold 1.8 engine starts and gets imediatly solicited in rpms above 3000 or 4000,, goes against all good practices
