5 Quarts? Oil capacity of that prius is only 4.4 quarts. Overfilling an engine with oil is never a good thing. Also, are those the correct jack points for a prius?
4.4 quarts, but only use 4 quarts and keep it half way between themarks. Over filling this car causes a lot of oil to pass by the PCV and end up in the intake manifold.
You should maybe remind folk to put the engine oil plug back in before you re fill it ! Also worth noting that the filter you removed was leaking oil which it should not be !
So it seems like you had a bit of an oil leak judging by all the oil under the engine before you even started draining it. Not sure why? I recommend the Motivx MX2321 oil filter cap wrench. And the oil filter cap should be put on at 25 N•m (18 ft.lbs.) Larger Toyota engines would use the Motivx MX2320 wrench. If you're at all like me, each time you do this you get better at it.

Thanks for showing where the ring goes. My dad and I forgot where it was supposed to be placed.
Hmmm. A Prius V takes 4.4 quarts with filter change. Not 5. At least my 2016 V5 does.
Right?

@@jamesluke3694 Takes a bit for it to drain out of the engine, into the pan. Right?

Great recommendation Jack, the Motivx MX2321 looks like a higher quality tool for the job. I'll be sure to add the link for it in the description.
