    Hey there everybody! Over the weekend I recently joined club Prius, picking up a 2010 Black Prius III. I have been apart of many forums over the past few years and love the community input and knowledge that can help keep our machines running for hundreds of thousands of miles!

    Does the community have a pinned or recommended thread for common issues or maintenance at specified mileage marks? The vehicle I purchased this weekend is sitting at 114k miles, from a very reputable dealer in the Madison, WI area.

    Any input would be great, it will take me a few days to get in the groove and understand the community here, but looking forward to it!

    -Matt

    Any maintenance records available? Transaxle oil change, spark plugs, coolant changes (engine and inverter loops), etc.

    Recalls performed?

    First congratulations and welcome!

    If you do not have any maintenance records, go to the ToyotaOwners website and create an account using your VIN. All service records at an authorized Toyota dealer will be listed.
