The Prius PHEV has reached the 120k mile mark and it is time to replace plugs.


This coming weekend should be fun. :)

I have a 2010 Prius with a little over 120k miles and I'm curious what actual services should I be doing or having the dealer do vs what will the dealer be trying to upsell me.

From the Maintenance Log I see
Inspect and adjust all fluid levels
Replace Cabin air Filter (Watched a Youtube video and will just order a filter and do this myself)
Replace Engine air Filter (already done myself)
Replace engine oil and oil filter
Replace spark plugs

Should I be looking at replacing the Transaxle/Transmission fluid? Engine coolant and inverter coolant? Or just topping off the fluids?...

There have been three cars that have impressed me this year. The 2015 VW Jetta TDI, 16 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid PHEV and now the 2016 Toyota Prius.

There is a new technology king in town and it is called Prius.

I am considering purchasing my parents lightly used 2012 Prius v despite the poor driver ergonomics and terrible infotainment.

On the infotainment front, I think the following solves most of the infotainment problem. I hope? It is missing HD radio but the next head unit up to include that feature costs well over $300 more. HD Radio is not worth that by any stretch.

he had called earlier-
red triangle came on
He came home
1)red triangle
2)the little "engine" check engine symbol was on
3)also on the main display the hybrid system warning-car with exclamation point was on-this is my biggest concern

Car running fine-mpg-fine
My SG is dead so no codes-I will get a reader from AZ tomorrow

Any chance the Hybrid system warning would come on for a "pure" engine problem
like a O2 sensor MAF sensor dead cat con charcoal gas vapor system screwed up?
Or is it STRICTLY hybrid stuff-meaning expensive and dealer only

$20 + $60 temp. charge to borrow the piston push back kit
The install went "ok-ish"
we-son- were slightly stalled when we found the OEM pads had 2 SHIMS
the duralast pads had a "built in" single shim
and the outer oem shim didn't fit "great" the tabs had to clamp on top of the built in shim tab
but we stuffed them on-seem to work fine
No funny noise-braking fine

But one-just one-or the Duralast pads went over the top edge of the rotor
hard to explain but...
