    Prius with over 525,000 miles!
    My name is Rideshare Sean I am a male in my mid 40’s. I live in Ellenton, Florida.
    I drive a 2011 Toyota Prius which makes her a 3rd gen. I have named her Ruby.
    I take care of her and she takes very good care of me.
    Below is the current mileage on my car. I took a picture of the Odometer last night
    After I made it home again, after Uber driving. I purchased this car in 2016 and I have the oil
    And filter changed in this car every two weeks. I change the Transmission Fluid in it around every 100,000 miles I have changed the motor just once and the hybrid battery twice so far.
    I still take very long trips with Uber in this car and use it for my own personal use also.
    Throughout the years, I have come here to get information to repair my car. I use a Bluetooth
    OBD2 reader to scan for codes and whatever that thing says, I replace that part and it fixes the problem every time. I love that thing because it saves me countless hours of diagnostics. Everything I have ever done to my Prius is detailed on the maintenance log that is always available at my blog site rideshsredriver every oil change, every replaced part, and everything I have done to this car since I purchased it on December 24th, 2016 is listed on that log.

    I'm halfway there! Congrats on such a huge milestone and making the most out of the Prius.

    One of the most practical cars ever, and if you are handy and like tinkering with things it's an easy car to work on.
