I don't see me 'manning up' for some time. While safe I'm sure, we all have our 'safety zones' and this is not one of mine. If I need to get the...
Yes, we each have a technique we are comfortable with. For me, raising a car off the ground is not something I'm comfortable doing. It would be my...
Neo,... a few things, and certainly research this as all I'm doing is passing along info I've read.. I just completed my 1st transaxle ATF fluid...
One comment on my above post - If I ever do this again, I will put the car on the ramps, loosen the drain bolt, take out the fill bolt and place...
Success.. changed the ATF for the 1st time, 65K miles on an 08 Prius. Just like everyone said, just like changing the oil. Here's a step by step...
MacsVoltage, thanks for your comments. Many readers are looking for real guidance in this area. Can you tell us, as a hybrid expert, where you...
Keep reading. There is much more info already posted. I have a late 2008 (12/08 build) with 65k miles. I just bought the WS ATF today so I can do...
Snow new-bee here.. moved from CA to CO 2 years ago.. not much snow around the past 2 years, but in the past days several inches.. having never...
I'm ready to jump in, bought the WS ATF today at the dealer, $10/qt. Not sure I'll do this soon, but at 65K miles, it's getting close. The ATF...
Great input. Thanks. I appreciate the discussion on brake fluids.

I'm excellent about changing my oil - I get it, oil gets dirty and loses some viscosity (thickness) causing it to not lubricate as well. I am...
Thanks for the comments. I do have 2 jack stands. I'll use in combination with the ramps. Should do the trick.
Lots of good info here. Thanks to all. I'm about to change my ATF and don't see a specific answer to 'do you need to raise the car' to do this...
Thanks for the comments. All are valid points. I have the 150K mile warranty on my batteries - car purchased in CA. I'll plan on changing the ATF...
Following the manual is always a good 'thing'. On the $80.. the fluid cost is about $10/qt.. that's $40, and $40 for the labor.. not so bad.. I...
I find this an interesting topic because there are opinions on both sides; change it every 30K miles, don’t touch it until 60K miles, then every...
I don't think so, as most 12V batteries will charge off 13.8V - but whatever the reason, people might want to know about this and do more...
I hope Paul from boulder hybrid chimes in here. I visited his shop last week and saw many Optima Yellow tops on the floor, that had been removed...
I'll admit, I think the dealers charge WAY too much for service, any service. Do yourself a favor, learn to change your own oil at a min. It's...
