Hey folks, Our 05 Prius has crossed the 60K mark recently. So after some searching on the forums on what needed to be done and what to avoid, I went ahead and did some work on the car today. * Changed oil to Royal Purple 5w-30 and new OEM filter. * Changed transaxle fluid with new ATF-WS (fluid looked pretty clean and almost no shavings were collected by the magnet). * Changed PCV valve, old one seemed clean enough but it's a cheap part and I already had it. * Replaced air filter. * Replaced cabin air filter. * Dumped a bottle of STP injector cleaner in a full tank of gas. * Adjusted tire pressures (hardly, they were very close to where I normally have them at 38f 36r). The only thing that I might be missing from all I read was check and adjusting rear brakes (if needed). I have done brake jobs of disc brakes a million times but never touched drum brake systems before, is there a decent online how-to write-up? Anything else that I should consider doing? TIA, Moti
That looks easy enough. Thanks, I'll give it a shot . Anything else recommended while I'm at it? Moti
If you've already done the various inspections suggested in the Toyota maintenance guide, such as looking at the drivebelt for excessive cracking, the CV joint boots for breaks and grease seepage, the struts/shocks for oil seepage, the fuel tank and emissions control hoses for leaks, and the flexible brake lines for damage, then you should be good to go.
