New Prius T3 2014 Owner

So I just bit the bullet and purchased a used Toyota Prius T3 VVT-I CVT 1.8 2014 (Gen3). Mileage being 213,000 with a reconditioned hybrid battery. Mechanically it seems fine and the hybrid battery also seems to run fine no knocking/rattling on cold, charges and discharges etc.

I'm not expecting it to last forever but would like to keep it running for the next 3-4 years at least (~50k miles)?

I want to go ahead and give it a full service (fluids) and engine maintenance (EGR cleaning/spark plugs). I am trying to figure out in what best order to go about this so I don't have to redo steps i.e. removing the undertray several times etc. Anyone have a go-to list?

Already located few good guides on the forum but for the life of me can't find a periodic maintenance schedule for the car? Not even on Toyota dealership website? I am also assuming at high mileage I should be performing certain maintenance more often 5k/5000miles/6 months mark as opposed to the advised 10k?

Thanks.

 

Had a look but couldn't find much. Was able to get a electronic copy of owners manual from Toyota UK at least.

Yeah when doing the EGR there's a few things that will be accessible/need to come off, from a quick video I saw by NutZAndBolts would be spark plugs/PCV valve/engine coolant change. Will try and form a list of things that can be serviced in order, think it may be useful to new car owners i.e. when getting a new used car.

Thanks!

Yeah I realised as couldn't really find anything, the next best alternative I could see would be purchasing a workshop manual as they tend to incorporate one?

Had a look at the list, looks great, thanks! Interesting as the intervals for most service parts/liquids seem to be a standard interval. Before I bought this Prius had a Nissan Almera which I have the maintenance schedule for and things like coolant/spark plugs etc seem to be in-line the same miles/km or time lapsed.

 

Would you be able to share the repair manual you have? I am considering purchasing a manual from a well known publisher here in the UK - Toyota PRIUS III PHASE 1 - 5D 2009-06->2012-021.8 100HP (2ZRFXE) by Haynes.

1. I will do a coolant flush before undertaking the EGR cleaning as will let the components soak in some sort of cleaner overnight (not sure which yet) will take my time. I can also then access the PCV valve to replace and clean the throttle body (removal and clean) - are these recommended as well generally?

3. Assuming the fluid type is DOT4? Owners manual doesn't state anything about brake fluid type/capacity.

4. Makes sense to do engine and inverter coolant in one go, as you'd need more than a 5L bottle for the engine alone so with 2 bottles (10L) you'd fill both and have a bit left over.

5. Will need to look into this. Whether it would be of benefit in my case.

I think the only isolated service fluids/components that wouldn't be done hand in hand with another change would be engine oil change, brake fluid change and transmission fluid change right? I.e. for the EGR you could potentially loose some coolant if not careful/you'd have access to the spark plugs etc.
