Man if you think the dealers are ripping people off by charging people $110 for filters you should see the margins on the quick lube places.

Yeah it’s fucked. The FA20 engine sometimes just pops like that.

If the manager is decent they’ll either reduce some labor costs, provide a free rental, or reduce the parts costs down. Likely depends on whether or not you have had the service done there (the sales department and the service department are different entities, loyalty to one is not loyalty to the other).

If that goes nowhere, you can call up Toyota and ask pretty pretty please if they’ll help at all since it’s just out of warranty.

Side note: Spark plugs, rear differential gear oil, and transmission fluid are due at 60k miles. If you do end up redoing the engine make sure it gets new plugs.

Yeah, the batteries for Prius Cs are tiny.

Yup, all of these are per the maintenance manual that should be with the car.

Tire rotation every 5k or 6 months.

Oil change every 10k (5k if you tow or have a roof rack). Otherwise, every 1 year if you don’t drive a lot.

Cabin air filter every 10k if it’s the carbon one, as needed otherwise.

Clean hybrid battery air filter every 20k (or replace it, up to you). Doesn’t really matter if your interior stays clean, does matter if you have pets or a ton of sand inside of your car.

Engine air filter every 30k.

Spark plugs every 120k.

Transmission fluid every 120k (60k if you tow or have a roof rack). The manual only gives you the extreme interval, standard interval is inferred from that.

Engine and inverter first coolant change at 100k/10y, then every 50k/5y thereafter (inverter technically has a different first change interval but everyone just does it at the same time as the engine coolant).

Pro tip: Check underneath the engine cover every couple of months. Rodents like to build nests under there and chew up the engine harness.

Everything else is on an as-needed basis.

Maintenance information is found in the warranty/maintenance manual, not the owners manual.
