Detailed maintenance instructions

[Cliffman]

I'm looking for detailed instructions on how to perform regular maintenance on my 05. Oil and filter, Air filter and so on. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance...

John1701a has one of the best repositories of Prius info, including instructions (with good pics) for basic maintenance. PriusChat does too, of course, but it's scattered throughout thousands of threads, and sifting through search results can be a little tedious, so I suggest you start with John's site.

The Haynes Prius Repair Manual is now available on Amazon.com. It has 25 pages on routine maintanence.

Went to "John's" place and while his oil change and AC filter directions are great it would be nice if I could find everything in one place. for example there's no directions on the air filter replacement on John's web site.

Yes there is. Check out page 29 of his User Guide for 2004-2008 models (downloadable in PDF or Word). It's linked from his home page, but here's a link to save you a little time. That and other common maintenance tasks are indeed grouped together in one section entitled "Maintenance."

You are absolutely correct. Guess I thought the year was incorrect for some reason. Thanks!

Please don't use that direct link.

It causes support/bandwidth problems for others. Sharing the document with as many as possible in a quick & reliable fashion depends on you downloading copy from the webpage instead.
