    Yeah the return to spin-on happened a year or two into 4th gen.
    Gen 2’s are all spin-on.
    there’s a link in my signature* with info. Note, there were/are multiple versions of the main spin-on component, AFAIK they all work fine, mostly bored engineers with time on their hands.

    the one I got from Amayama was an earlier version, works.

    * on a phone turn it landscape to see signatures.

    Extremely unlikely. I would try the version sold for a gen4 nearest your year.

    You have a gen3. Gen4 has block and many other changes which could make revisions relevant.

    It fits! So far I've done the oil and filter.
    I have to go to the mailroom first before I go to the rest of the mild service. Theres alot of things I found out that the dealer didn't do right. Hopefully when I open the air cleaner its not gonna be like the first time it seen daylight after its original assembly. s0092.gif
    Thanks!

    Does the 2018 prius base model have service reminder and service mile tracker on screen?
    Just wondering because the 2007 I use has all of those.
    Thanks

    Yes, maintenance minder will go off around 4.5K from last rest. It'll disappear when you get moving. If you ignore it past 5K, It'll stay on-screen until you manually clear acknowledge it.
