Thanks for this professional and comprehensive demonstration on how to change the oil on a Toyota Prius. I appreciate your attention to detail and safety. Well done.
Well done! Nice clear presentation without any nonsense. I wish you were in my neighborhood, I'd be a regular customer! Still trying to identify that charming accent ... 😀
Thanks for the video. I will likely have my local garage do the oil changes on my 2017 Prius Prime. I have purchased the correct oil filter cup wrench, identical to the one you used, except mine came in black. I don't want my local garage switching to a spin-on filter so I may lend them the cup wrench for the OEM Toyota oil filter housing in case they don't have one.
Hello! I have watched your videos about prius oil change and replacing the filter. This was helpful for me to understand where the filter housing is and how accessible it is. I have a 2014 prius which has 183,000 miles on it (I work in hospice and drive it daily for work). My mechanic whom I have taken the car for regular service for 5 years now told me today that the "oil filter housing is worn out. recommend replacing at next service" which would be in two months. I can see how the housing cap gets damaged by a person over-torquing, but can the actual housing piece be damaged and require replacement? They estimate $435 labor and $260 parts. I have asked for them to elaborate on what "worn out" means. It is a lot of money to me and I cannot tell if they damaged it and pass along the cost to me, or if it isn't damaged, but how would I know?
Awesome video thumbs upped and subscribed!!!Just bought a 2011 Prius and learning the car and because of your awesome video I am getting ready to change the oil. So the torque specification for the oil filter is 25 and for the oil drain plug screw is 40? I will double check my manual and make sure it's the same or correct it might be vehicle specific. Great snap on tool too!! Thanks for the video!!
It’s been 2.5 years since my last synthetic oil change. I must have driven < 1K miles in the same period. The maintenance light or oil change light has not come on yet. Should I change the oil now or wait for the maintenance light to come on?

I have a '08 4Runner and I love how the oil filter is in the engine bay. Makes taking it off and putting it back on a breeze.
I love that design too
Didn’t they get that from subaru?
Thanks for your professional video DIY 's, much appreciated you save me from going to the dealership.
Much the best advice. He does more than the obvious!
Yes, a video on how to reset the oil change reminder would be helpful.
Taking the vanity cover off is incredibly helpful, I have experienced... I can wipe the dust off underneath the cover...

N•m yes. (Newton Meters) (18 ft.lbs. on oil filter cap. 30 ft.lbs. on drainplug.)
How about 2nd generation toyotal prius 04-09 what type of recommended engine oil while standard is 5W-30.Thanks
Can you provide the link for the Drive Torque Wrench?
Now I know I can't do it myself. I hope that you, or someone like you, works at my local walmart.
Looks like the filter removal socket is the same as for a 5th gen 4Runner. Is it?
Super 👍🏾

You should change your oil every 5k miles or 6 months if you go further than that you will cause damage to your engine.
1filter oil is enough ？
Question: 0w20 oil however are there any brands that are ideal or any to stay away from.
Not about the brand but rather always buying the correct viscosity
Where do you get the filter housing wrench at?
awesome!
I have the 2012 Prius 4. Is this procedure applicable to the 2012?
It’s the same
Thank you sir
This is a Prius Prime... Looks different than a regular Prius.
Gen 2 Prius was so much easier.
Yes, it was, but now I get twice the fuel economy with my 2017 Prius Prime plug-in hybrid.
Send me an email, I may be able to help you.
