    i would do everything in the maintenance schedule. have you looked at the owners website to see if any dealer services were ever performed?

    Attached is a summary of the gen 4 Prius maintenance schedule, based on Toyota USA’s Warranty and Maintenance Booklet. If missing that booklet can be downloaded from Toyota Tech Info website, under the Manuals tab.

    are you intending to DIY all or some?
