    The warranty & maintenance guide only goes up to 120,000 miles, do I start over from 5,000 miles again after that?

    Thanks,
    Tang

    To me, it looks like the 30,000 to 60,000 mile interval is a repeat list of maintenance items (same as 60K-90K, 90K-120K). So I would just keep using that interval (120K-150K, 150K-180K, 180K-210K, etc.).

    look for any special notes, like inverter or engine coolant changing to every 50k, and things like that.

    I extrapolotated the US service out to 240K, pdf and spreadsheet versions. The latter is handy in that as you scroll to the right the left column info continues to be visible.

    Read up on the EGR cleaning threads here. The EGR system (cooler, valve and intake manifold) eventually clogs up and should be cleaned.

    This is great. Would you happen to know if this would also work for the fourth generation? I have a 2017 Prius Two.

    What to do after 120,000 miles?

    For a 2011?
    See post #4.
    I'd probably ALSO read the 10 longest threads about head gasket failures, EGR cleaning and the infamous "Prius Death Rattle."

    -remember.....
    They CALL it a "Warranty and Maintenance Guide" for a REASON.
    Toyota only cares about the car during the warranty period, because after THAT???

    -not their problem. ;)

    Thanks! You wouldn't happen to have that one in the PDF colored version like the 2010 one would you?

    No. If you download and open with excel you can color it. If not available I can give it a go, post again.

    I actually just compared your 2010 one with my 2017 maintenance guide and I think it's pretty much the same. Also I just noticed one small error in your 2010 though. The change inverter coolant at 100,000 miles is not colored in. It is colored at 150k and 200k though. Or maybe with a 2010 that's not required until 150k?
