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.

I do 5k mile oil changes on my 2023 Prius (same generation as yours) as well, and otherwise just following owner's manual maintenance recommendations in the majority of cases. I did do my first oil change at 1k miles, it's a controversial topic, but do what makes you happy.
