    Okay, this might sound dumb to most people here, but I really need this answer (tried searching, no clear answer found).

    Prius has two coolant chambers. My question is, do I use the same coolant for both? I didn't find the owner's manual suggest different coolant for each, it just mentions what type of coolant I should use. So I can use the same coolant for both, right?

    Yes, the same coolant in both the inverter and engine coolant loops.

    Yes, they're both 50/50 super long life coolant.

    ... which, to be clear, is already 50/50 in the jug when you buy it. No mixing on your part.
