    Going to change transaxle fluid. Since this is a cvt transaxle, couldnt I use any cvt oil?

    How much is needed in the 2006 prius?

    Where is the pcv valve in the engine compartment?

    Our Prii have an eCVT, not a CVT. They are very different so a generic CVT ATF is NOT the right stuff to use.
