Friends: 0 |  Oil Change 2010 Prius - do it yourself Here is a helpful mechanism for those do-it-your-selfer's out there. Enjoy! Bill  How do you reset the oil change indicator scale ? First - you need to hit the trip indicator button until you have "trip A" indicated in the display (I use this at re-fueling times) Next - you will need to push the park button then the power off button - yes you will need to fully turn off the car. Next - locate the MPH/Kilometers button on the dashboard. Press and hold down and then restart the car by pushing the power on button (hold both buttons down at the same time - when the scale is re-set, let go of both buttons) Verify by looking at the scale indicator  I believe this is correct - good luck.

Friends: 0 | Re: Oil Change 2010 Prius - do it yourself What size oil filter wrench did you use? There are quite a few end-cap wrenches (sockets, actually). I have a small collection from working on past & present vehicles. |

Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY640 - Toyota 64mm Oil Filter Wrench I think a 65mm that you can find in most auto stores, as well as your local Toyota dealer, would work, but this is the right tool.... The oil change is a straight-forward deal, easy even, & this 'How to' is a good guide........  | |

The filter looked OK.... I sent a sample to BlackstoneLabs to check out the OE oil...we'll see. Last edited by jm1515; 08-24-2009 at 11:02 AM. | |
