    Sorry for the Howie Mandell callback, but I got a quick question. I got an '07 that's at 149500 miles. After this weekend, it'll be over 150K. I called the dealer and made an appointment to have the following jobs done:

    transaxle fluid - drain and fill
    PCV valve replacement (never done)
    Throttle plate - cleaning (I believe it was done at 80K)
    EFI/fuel injector - cleaning (I believe it was done at 80K)

    Is this something that requires dealer expertise/ripoff, or can I get my local non-Prius expert mechanic to do it?

    Thanks,

    - Sung
