CARspec is frequently asked what preventative maintenance their Toyota Prius needs at any given time.  Hither's what nosotros recommend at CARspec, taking into account Minnesota route conditions, conditions and other severe service requirements we see here in the cold due north.  An example of what we'd recommend at a given mileage is at the bottom as well.  Enjoy!

2010+ Toyota Prius (C, V, Plug-In included) Maintenance Guide

For the 2010+ models that require synthetic 0w20 engine oil but specify a 10,000 mile oil alter interval, CARspec continues to recommend a v,000 mile oil change interval (severe service interval) due to the common cold conditions.  The maintenance guide reflects this but is not required every bit per Toyota.  CARspec is happy to perform 5,000 mile service intervals without an oil change, only have found a more frequent interval beneficial to overall longevity.  Besides annotation that CARspec recommends an earlier hybrid system coolant modify due to cold weather condition severe service (100,000 vs 150,000 miles).

  • Every five,000 miles – oil change (constructed), tire rotation, brake inspection
  • Every 15,000 miles – oil change (constructed), tire rotation, major inspection, inspect and supervene upon cabin air filter as needed
  • Every xxx,000 miles – oil change (constructed), tire rotation, major inspection, audit and replace cabin air filter as needed, replace engine air filter
  • Every 100,000 miles – oil change (constructed), tire rotation, brake inspection, replace engine and hybrid system coolant
  • Every 120,000 miles – oil alter (synthetic), tire rotation, major inspection, audit and supercede cabin air filter equally needed, replace engine air filter, supercede spark plugs.
  • Every l,000 miles later 100,000 miles – oil change (synthetic), tire rotation, brake inspection, replace engine and hybrid arrangement coolant

For 2004+ Prius models CARSpec also recommends the hybrid transaxle fluid be changed at 100,000 miles.  This is non required maintenance per Toyota but recommended to assistance ensure proper operation.

Using the in a higher place a guide, a invitee with a 2011 Prius at 92,000 miles would be due for a 30,000 mile service, a guest with a 2003 Prius at 243,000 mile would be due for a 120,000 mile service, and a invitee with a 2009 Prius at 42,000 miles would exist due for a five,000 mile service.
