✅ The Prius oil change is one of the simplest on any car — spin-on filter, easy drain plug, small capacity. The hybrid system doesn't affect the oil change procedure at all.
⚠️ Always use 0W-20 full synthetic in the Prius. The small displacement engine is designed around this viscosity for fuel economy and longevity.
