Hey bro, I have a 2023 Prius. I’ve been waiting for someone to post a vid like this. I love doing my own oil changes. Thanks for the upload man, god bless.

Where did you get that funnel the one I have and used on my old Pruis won't screw on the new plastic valve cover ???????????????????????????????????

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Links are in the description below the video.

Toyota changed to cartridge oil filter on the 5th gen models. I hate the plastic oil filter housing on the previous gen models.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Yeah, lots of people prefer the spin-on type.

Great video ! I have a 2024 Prime and plan to do the first oil change at 5000 miles. I typically drive EV mode but select HV about once a week to get time on the engine. Where did you get the screw in funnel that fits the new Prius. I use that style funnel on my Ford, Mazda and past Subaru vehicles. I can’t find one on Amazon that states it fits the new Gen. 5 Prius. Cheers

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi Roy, thank you for the positive feedback! The funnel and all the other items needed to do the oil change are linked in the video description below the video. The Amazon fitment guide may not include the Prius Prime in it as it is a newer vehicle, but it does fit. Cheers! amzn.to/3QbGQrG

Hi Viktor. Thank you for sharing your experience ! May I ask you a few questions. Now I have 3300miles, mostly hv mode on freeways, is it not to late to do first oil change? And can I use Mobil 1 fully synthetic ilsac gf-6 5w30 instead of 0w16 in California?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@Pravdazhe hi, the first oil change is due at 10K miles, so you definitely don’t need one yet (unless you want to do one early). You could probably use 5w30, but it will likely make the fuel economy slightly worse.

Wild...replacing gasket on the plug. You do this every time?! I've never done it on any of my old cars. (I'm also not really a mechanic.)

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Yes, the drain plug gasket is supposed to be replaced at every oil change.

[@TherealDjTired]

Very nice job. May I ask the milage of the car? Was it the break in oil change?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

It has 1500 miles on it. I just did the oil change to make the video, it didn’t need it yet.

[@wutevarr4028]

This is a question for anyone here, if they know.. If I purchase my own oil and filters, keep receipts, take pics w/receipt in front of the odo, etc, Toyota shouldn't void my warranty IF something were to happen.. correct? Toyota care just ran out.. and love DIY.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@wutevarr4028 they cannot void your warranty if you maintain your own vehicle and have the receipts.
