    I just changed the engine oil for the first time tonight. VERY easy to do. Bonus - the oil filters are these little itty bitty things and it only cost $1.95 for a Purolator classic...LOL! Very different from the vehicle I got rid of before the Prius :)

    The oil only had 3500 miles on it (last owner had it changed at Toyota Dealer) but I have a stash of Mobil 1 5w/30 in the garage. Wanted to get some good synthetic in there before it gets too cold.
