    When I did oil change today, I found those two parts on the plastic board. This is 2010 Prius II with 180k miles. Please share if you have any idea.

    I believe that those are from the exhaust pipe to the manifold.
    Has the engine been changed? Or the exhaust?
    There are 2 springs with the bolts that hold the exhaust pipe to the manifold, with
    the gasket in between...
