    I found very nice oil change instruction on John1701 site, but it's only for 2010 prius.
    Is anyone know where I can find some "step by step" instruction (with pictures or draws) for oil change in 2001 prius?
    Thank you.

    very simple change, there was nothing special to do on my girls car, the engine oil drain plug is on the center right hand side area of the underside, the filter was to the front and slightly to the left

    i think it was a 15mm wrench to drain the oil

    The Classic model was very similar to the Iconic, so you can just use the downloadable document for it. That one is available here.
