    I(like every good Prius owner) change my own oil do my own services I have been driving this lik guy 250 miles a day and the thought of changing the transmission fluid and serviceing the electric motors has come to mind is there any preventive maintenance I could/should be preforming??

    When I changed mine I added a powerful rare earth magnet to collect metal particulate.
