Prius Prime 2017 oil filter

Looks like 04152-YZZA6 for the filter.

Definitely needs a new washer, however I'd pick up a new drain plug too.

 

Repair Manual instruction attached. Seeing how your oil filter is the permanent housing style, it’ll be the “B” case, 18 ft/lb torque.

 

Yep and you'll want one of the Toyota filter wrenches for that plastic filter casing, they can be difficult to remove. (And be careful removing the old filter inside of it and putting in the new one...it's pretty easy to break those little metal parts inside that....ask me how I know!)

FWIW, a new oil drain bolt can be found on Amazon...I keep some on hand for our 9 vehicles when they need it.

(Search for Dorman 090-038.1 Oil Drain Plug Standard M12-1.25, Head Size 14Mm Compatible with Select Models)

 

Lube the O-rings during reassembly and DO NOT over tighten the drain plug. Common noob mistakes that'll cost you more time and money. Use a torque wrench - old-timers like me have calibrated hands that know, 'ball-park' how much pressure to put on those bolts and filters. Since your green and learning; best not to break things and get discouraged.

YMMV

 

I"m using a Honda oil filter socket (commonly called an "oil filter wrench", is what it is). It's heavy gauge, stamped steel, got it around 1990, more-or-less indestructible. It's compatible with Toyota, Mazda as well as Honda. Dealership parts departments may have it in stock, or can get it in.

 

Plastic?

 

Well, the one I linked is $26 USD and change, unbreakable.

 

So Spring of 2025? For 4th gen Prius, either hybrid or plug-in variant, Toyota Canada says 12 months or 16k kms, whichever comes first. So you're officially good to Spring of 2026, unless you surpass 16K kms.

t's al little harder to find this information now: unlike past years, there's NOTHING in the Toyota Canada publication included in the glove box, regarding service intervals, commencing with 2016 model year Prius.

If you go here, enter your stats, then your kms/months, and it'll tell you (sort of), what needs doing, spec'ing Service #1, #2, or #3. To summarize, the first few:

8k kms or 6 mo: Service #1
16k kms or 6 mo: Service #2 <oil/filter change
24k kms or 6 mo: Service #1
32k kms or 6 mo: Service #3 <oil/filter change
40k kms or 6 mo: Service #1

Somebody ambitious could go through this, label all the specific services by row, and the kms/months by columns, something like this:



The subject of extending the oil change interval for the plug-in's often comes up. Still with gen 4 going to yearly or 16k kms (per the States), it's not that onerous?

I would change the oil pan drain bolt washers. Getting my oil filters at a dealership, they used to charge me a buck or two more for them, but just a couple of days ago, I noticed no mention on the bill, and there was a washer thrown in with the filter.
