Seeking advice on buying a Prius v

We just received in the mail a windshield sticker that states that we need to return to the dealership for the next oil change at 182K miles. So it looks like the dealer wants us to do 5K oil changes. So, I will adhere to that schedule. I think for this next oil change, I will do it at the dealer. And, then start doing some on my own. I made a notebook to hold all receipts and maintenance paperwork, and it has sheets of paper to record maintenance notes.

 

I replaced the cloth floor mats in the front driver and passenger foot wells with all-weather Husky rubberized floor mats.They cover the floor area more completelly, and are easier to clean — just rinse with water and allow to air dry — than the cloth floor mats. I still have the cloth floor mats, so I can put them back for the dealer to inspect.
