    The single-owner car - 2012 Prius v with 112K miles and I just realized that transaxle fluid has never been changed.

    Is it too late at that mileage or late changes less impactful on eCVT transmissions?

    Change it. Completely different on a eCVT which has no clutches to slip. Use Toyota fluid only.
