Title: A Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Oil in Your 3rd Gen Toyota Prius
Introduction:
Hello, world! Welcome back to Random Fix. Today, I'm excited to show you how to change the oil on a 2010 Toyota Prius. Whether you have a Prius from 2010 or up to 2015, this guide will walk you through the process step by step. Stick around until the end, where I'll also demonstrate how to reset the oil maintenance reminder. Let's dive in!
1. Preparing Your Vehicle:
First things first, we need to lift the vehicle onto some ramps. Using the appropriate tools, such as jacks, we'll ensure the car is safely elevated for the oil change process.
2. Draining the Old Oil:
With the vehicle properly lifted, it's time to locate the oil drain plug and oil filter housing underneath the car. I'll guide you through using special tools to remove them and efficiently drain the old, dirty oil.
3. Cleaning and Replacing the Oil Filter:
After removing the oil filter, we'll clean it thoroughly to ensure optimal performance. I'll show you how to replace the filter and the seal properly, preventing any leaks or issues down the road.
4. Adding Fresh Oil:
Once everything is cleaned and the old oil is drained, it's time to add fresh oil. I'll demonstrate the correct amount and type of oil needed for your Prius, ensuring smooth engine performance.
5. Checking Fluid Levels and Resetting Maintenance Light:
Before wrapping up, we'll check fluid levels, including engine coolant and brake fluid. Additionally, I'll guide you through the process of resetting the oil maintenance reminder light, ensuring your Prius is ready to hit the road with fresh oil.
Conclusion:
Congratulations! You've successfully changed the oil in your 3rd Gen Toyota Prius. I hope this guide was helpful and informative. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.

I just got a 3rd gen Prius (my 2nd gen was totaled last month in a wreck). The plastic flap that you have to use to access the oil pan and filter.... is there someway of removing it and putting it back on correctly? Or did you just cut yours off? After I removed the pop screws that hold it in place with the rest of the aerodynamic shrouds mine only seemed to fold back, but was still a pain in the ass and totally in the way. I was using drive up on car stands like you are using and the flap was where I was constantly fighting with it. i'm going to try getting the filter wrench from Amazon that you suggested. For the FIRST TIME in my entire life (I'm 46) I didn't change the filter. The filter wrench that Autozone had that looked like the one in your video, wouldn't stay seated and break the seal (someone didn't lube the O ring most likely and it is seized to the block). I busted my knuckles several times even using a breaker bar and was unsuccessful in getting the filter loose.... I hate the new cartridge style filter, A bad move on Toyota's part IMO. Old fashioned oil filters were superior at ease of dealing with on my 2nd gen.

Next oil change at the dealer, I'm taking a parts bucket. Last oil change a new cartridge was on the passenger seat. Service said they brought an extra out and assured me a new filter was installed. I don't burn or leak oil but I'm about half full. In the chopstick and I'm going to need a tool to unscrew the filter cap - is on super tight.

I normally drive more than average but I think it 5000 miles and I'm not sure about timing and I think it's a combination of both. So if only drive 1,000 miles a year it will turn after a year as well. Happy new year's _Randomfix

No mention of replacing the drain plug gasket. I have strip the drain plug thread on another car oil pan after multiple removal. I bought a good torque wrench and properly torque the drain plug to 29 ft-lb and the oil filter cover to 15-23 ft-lb especially with all cars now having aluminum oil pans. Living to hot Southern California I always use 10W40 oil and not the 0W20 recommended oil. When temperature exceed 100 degrees we want the higher viscosity oil and not the 20 weight. Never had engine problems in multiple cars over 35 years. Lose a little gas mileage but in the long run cheaper than excessive wear on our engines.
