    Getting ready to do my first oil change on my 2016 V. Checking out underneath it appears a cover/panel is missing. How can I find out if one goes there and find a part number?
    Thanks

    Did various google searches and looked at many images until one lead me here:
    JDM underbody cover | PriusChat

    Only problem the only place I found it is in Japan.
    Purchase US $24.94
    Delivery from Japan US $30.69
    Total amount due US $55.63

    Maybe I will get lucky and find one here some where.

    Kept searching and searching and eventually found it. Only $11 shipping. $29.31 all together.

    I think it's missing by design in North America. Not sure why though.

    Can you post link to where you purchased? I'm not sure but I think it's the same panel on regular Prius, would verify first.

    I used the part number from the previous post. Several sites had diagrams that show all the parts and it looks right
    Ordered it from here: Genuine Toyota 51447-47020 (5144747020) COVER, PLASTIC - Amayama

    This is from an old post on Priuschat

    This is the parts chart from several sites. (Part is towards the bottom/middle)

    Looks good.

    I was thinking to get that, but sadly the underpanel on mine seems to be older style, doesn't indent in that area, or have the fastener holes.

    I'll be doing an oil change, likely in the next day or two, will try applying some tape to the openings.
