    Good for you! They made a smart move: making a generous sub-section of the engine underpanel completely removable. It was easy-to-remove screws on that?

    Any chance you examined the drained oil for metal bits or a metallic sheen? I'm trying to decide if a break-in oil change makes sense on the Prime since Toyota doesn't bother to include one in the maintenance schedule.
