    Hi All, I have a 2014 Prius C, 53,000ish miles. I have had all the scheduled maintenance done at the dealership according to the manual and going by months. Today the service for 138 months, only entailed a tire rotation and visual inspection of fluids, brake linings etc. The next service in 6 months will be oil change, tire rotation, spark plugs etc. Being that we are way under the expected mileage, does anyone else perform scheduled maintenance based on months? The next service will complete the manuals check lists. Where can I find more maintenance schedules? Thank you all in advance!

    No point in doing plugs until the mileage is at or over 100k.

    Stuff that should be serviced over time (rather than miles) would be the coolant and the brake fluid and to some extent the tires. Rubber compounds harden over time, and old tires do not deliver the same traction benefits as new ones, even if they still have a lot of tread.

    Keep some money in the bank for a new hybrid battery- they tend to last "about ten years" in the c model whether you use them or not.
