    I've been on the hunt of making sure the fluids are taking care of. I have a 23 eAWD. Am I missing any of them?

    - Oil
    - Coolant (Engine)
    - Coolant (Inverter)
    - Transmission
    - Transaxle
    - Rear Transaxle ( eAWD)
    - Brake

    Sounds complete. Apart from the relatively trivial windshield washer fluid.

    Cross off transmission. The Prius only has the transaxle(s).

    So:
    Oil - 0W-16 - 4.4qt - I prefer Valvoline Restore & Protect(VRP) or Toyota Genuine Motor Oil(TGMO)
    Oil filter - 90915-YZZN1
    Oil drain plug gasket - 90430-12031
    6m/5k miles

    Engine coolant - Toyota Super Long Life(pink) - 00272-SLLC2 - 6.4qt
    Inverter coolant - Toyota Super Long Life(pink) - 00272-SLLC2 - 1.7qt
    need two jugs(plus maybe a tiny bit of water if needed(<0.1qt) - do the inverter first)
    5y/50k miles

    Front transaxle - Toyota TE Fluid - 08886-81986 - 3.9qt
    Rear transaxle - Toyota TE Fluid - 08886-81986 - 1.5qt
    Transaxle drain plug gasket - 90430-18008
    need two jugs(you'll have a lot left over - don't save it) and four gaskets
    6y/60k miles(could go a bit longer)

    Brake fluid - DOT 3 or DOT 4 - I prefer DOT 3 unless lots of hard/constant braking; brand doesn't much matter - need around 2 pints, but maybe have a third on hand just in case
    as needed - change when moisture hits no more than 3%(I prefer changing when hitting 2%) <2% good / 2-3% borderline / >3% replace immediately


    Other stuff

    Air filters:
    Engine - 17801-F2060 - as needed
    Cabin(standard) - 87139-YZZ83 - as needed
    Cabin(premium) - 87139-76020 - contains activated charcoal to reduce odors - change yearly
    Battery intake - G92DH-47110 - as needed

    Spark Plugs - 90919-01289 - 120k miles

    Wiper Insert, Driver - 85214-08050
    Wiper Insert, Pass - 85214-0E130
    as needed - I do twice a year, but my winters are hard on them
