    I've had my 2015 Prius C One for about two and a half years now. It's at 48,000 mi.

    So far I've done most the oil changes at my dealership + 2 at my mechanic. Never had to touch anything else. However, I'm sure the time is coming when I'll have to start worrying about tires, parts, AC care, etc. I'd like to know the opinions and suggestions of you Prius experts on what preventive check-ups and maintenance I should do at this point. Like I said, it's 2.5 years old @ 48,000 miles. Suggestions may include, but not limited to:

    - Tires
    - Suspension
    - Hoses
    - Cooling system
    - Oil, filter, etc.
    - AC hygiene
    - Polishing/paint
    - Brakes
    - Transmission
    - Anything else you can think of :-D

    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    welcome!

    1) do the tires when tread wear is unacceptable.

    2) oil and filter every 10k.

    3) polishing/paint as needed.

    4) inspect/lube brakes every 30k.

    5) tranny oil every 30k.

    6) start checking your 12v with your oil and tyre pressure

    7) follow the maintenance manual for everything else.

    8) all the best!(y)

    ^ Whoa: still waters run deep. I can't think of anything else. Especially with #7, covers everything.
