    I purchased my second Prius this past week, a 2019 Prius 2. It was a one owner with 140,000 MI. It's a world of difference from my 2008 Touring.

    Do the same minor tune-up tasks also work for a 4th Gen Prius? Things like mass airflow, throttle body cleaning, engine air filter, religious oil changes, eCVT coolant replacement, and spark plugs? The car did not come with any books. Thank you.

    congrats, sounds like a beauty!
    yes, still a gas engine, all the same maintenance. if you don't know the history, I would change all the fluids and filters, and have the 12v load tested.
    all the best!

    Owner's Manual and Warranty and Maintenance Booklet can be downloaded in pdf format. One source TechInfo Toyota, under the "Manuals" Tab.

    If you don't relish wading through the event-by-event format that maintenance is outlined in the latter booklet, see attached, table format summary, faithful to the booklet, and an extrapolated version, to 24 years or 240k miles.

    Not mentioned by Toyota USA, but worth: brake and transaxle fluid changes, throttle body cleaning.
