    My 2013 Prius 2 hit 200K mile today. Here is the history: New HV battery at 184K for $3,105 and just replaced original lead acid (made in Japan) battery this morning myself. Nothing other than regular maintenance, filters, wiper blades, tires. Front rotors and pads at 180K+, rear pads are still at 4mm out of 8mm. Oil change every 10K. I have not replaced spark plugs, radiator fluid or transaxle fluid. It does not burn oil yet (knock on wood). My next thing is to do these things. Dealership replaced HV battery filter and cleaned its fan when exchanging the HV battery. Link:

    Joaquim Silva congrats on 200k! I was wondering if you have had any thoughts on why your HV battery died? I mean, it's obviously got age and use on it but not too bad. Just curious if anything has happened that you suspect could have caused it to go bad?

    Thanks!

    I am convinced that it was the mileage. It lasted four years and one month, so it was not age.

    Yup it's on the Canadian Toyota schedule now. Toyota USA brake fluid is apparently immune still? (n)

    Yes to all the above.
    OCC done, really needs it on all of em! rerouted longer pcv hoses, brakes at 180k, transaxle fluid change and really stunk at 165k, changed pcv at 165k, new spark plugs at 165k, 12v battery now a yellow top, original lasted 7-8 years. change oil every 10k mobile1 full synthetic
    Burns 1/2 a qt. by then if I don't top off, Intake cleaned out, egr cooler cleaning, intake manifold cleaning, cleaned throttle body. New wipers, brake fluid flush, recently replaced 14 modules and then 6 more for fun! I over ordered! Use the wonderful HybridAutomotive system to charge balance and discharge traction battery. Ive always gotten a steady get 50 mpgS,Even as battery failed one really cold day! The computer really lnows what to do! Drive and enjoy!
    There really isn't a better car built! That I own.
