    I don't want to screw anything up. I had never filled up my previous car's windshield washer fluid but I guess with a new car, I should probably do it with my Prius.

    when you pop the cover on the reservoir, the dip gauge thingy is inside. but you can ignore it, and pour in fluid until you see it coming up the neck.

    ^^ What he said. Just pour the fluid in the reservoir until it is full. You won't mess anything up. Just use washer fluid that you buy at the local parts house. I have never fooled with the dipstick... Just fill it up.

    If you're a washer fluid snob, you can get Toyota's stuff for a buck or two more. It's pink, coordinates with the coolant fluid!

    I was seriously gonna mess everything up when I saw two containers with pink fluid thinking it was the containers for the windshield washer fluid but I came here and asked to double check

    It sounds like you got it sorted. I hope I did not confuse you in any way.

    Best of luck to you.
