    i just did my oil today, 2008 prius,
    oversized purolator filter fit nicely PL20195 .
    had to add 4 qts to get the larger filter filled up, and dipstick to read midway btw marks.

    my question is, when i slid under the car, i expected to see a plastic cover, that i would have to remove to access the drain and filter, all i saw was the bottom of the engine!!! no cover.
    is the 2008 different from the 2010. the only pics i can find are of the 2010.
    or am i missing a plastic panel under the car????

    thx

    The bottom of the engine is not covered, so no worries.
