I own a 2006 prius, have had it for about 4 months. I am approaching the 60k mile mark and just had my winter tires put and they said I had my 60k check up coming up. Is this necessary in your opinions? I bought the prius off the lot 4 months ago, i realize thats not a gurentee the car is in perfect health, just looking for some advice. Thanks
Check what's in your manual for what is included in the 60k service, ask your dealer to do just those things. Don't ask for a 60k service or you may be charged for more than what you really need. The link below has a lot of useful information about maintenance intervals: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...70-what-services-you-need-what-you-don-t.html Enjoy your 'new' car!
Inverter and ICE coolant are good for 100k miles in a Gen2 Prius. I agree that the ATF should be changed (should be about $100 at a dealer). JeffD
Welcome to PC! This is the mileage column for starters . . . I take it you didn't look under the care/maintenance column? http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...70-what-services-you-need-what-you-don-t.html Here, you'll find most of the 60K is NOT required, but rather a shakedown scheme of the dealers. .
