    Ok, I've tried looking for it on my 2002 Prius, but I can't seem to find it, where is it located?

    These photos may assist you. The second photo, taken underneath the Prius with the plastic shields off, is courtesy of forum member Hobbit

    Yea, but I wonder how we missed that. Guess we couldn't lift up my car enough. Hard to find it when you can't lift up the front, but I think I can manage next time.

    Thanks.

    [actually, at least as it comes up in my browser, jayman's first pic
    is the one from my car..] There are several threads from days of
    yore about doing oil changes, and a bunch of webpages about it including
    one at john1701a's site. What I generally do is lift the driver's
    side at the front jack point to unweight the suspension, tilt the
    car slightly toward the oil drain, and get more room underneath.
    That all helps get easy access to everything under there.

    Rhino Ramps will give you enough room to get under there.

    That's odd. I attached two photos, and I distinctly remember attaching yours second. Must have been too much barley pop last night ...
