2010 Toyota Prius I, Transaxle/Transmission Fluid Change Help Please...

Lot of metal wear there.

Blackstone omits a very important sample the TAN. Total Acid Number. Don't know why everybody else shows that number and they don't. Wearcheck.com does a better job imho.

TAN shows the health of the additive pack of WS the most important part of their "Lifetime Fluid".

 

I looked at their web site. What does it cost to have an oil analysis for a Prius? Couldnt find the price anywhere.

 

Here is a drawing with part numbers from an online Toyota Parts site I use to research parts toyotamotorparts.com. I don't necessarily recommend them over any others, but I'm familiar with how their site works. I usually compare their prices with my local dealer and if the shipping costs will take it over my local costs I buy them locally. You plug you VIN in and it will give you an exact match. This file is generic 2010 Prius, but the under cover is probably good.

 

$25. You can see what there test looks like in the Gen II forum under Maintenance under the Transaxle UOA sticky.

Couple of my transaxle UOA's from Wearcheck are in that thread.

 

What does the dealer charge? I need a 2011 and 12 change.

 

Can someone please tell me the torque requirements for the drain and fill plug ?

 

Wow! Nice garage! But no search engine?

I wish I got a lift like that! then all my work would be so easy

 

Nice freakin' lift. Hope you have a hotter car than a Prius also!!!!

If so SHOW ME!!!! PLEASE!!! lol...

 

Here's one. 1950 MG TD. Right hand drive.

 

Oh now your talking. That's awesome. What a beauty. So much fun to drive. Your garage is what dreams are made of. Is that a wooden frame car?

Love the lift. Love the floor. What type epoxy on the floor please?

 

The red one is a 1937 MG TA . Still needing quite a bit more work. Im not sure exactly of the epoxy floor coating. It was done at the time of the garage build.

 

Thanks to everyone - great information! Got the gaskets and fluid, going to do mine soon.

 

Awesome. Actually had one guy on this site who's mpg went up by 9 after changing the ATF, but I think that's an atypical increase.
