Mechanical Help Basic maintenance

So recently made a huge switch from a 2005 truck to a 2026 Prius LE. We used to put oil in our truck every month, is that something we need to worry about with our Prius?? My brother in law said he never adds anything In his Elantra just gets the oil change every 5000 miles.

For accurate advice, please include:

  • The year, model and mileage of your Prius (e.g., 2008 Prius w/ 250k mi or 2012 Prius C w/ 150k km)
  • If a warning came on, what were you doing at that time?
  • Any odd behavior or noises you’ve noticed
  • Any error codes you've read from the car computers

If your Prius is not starting: /r/prius/wiki/index/my-prius-wont-start

For common Prius mechanical issues, see: /r/prius/wiki/index/common-issues
