Separate names with a comma.
The recommended grade of oil is also stamped on the oil fill cap on top of the engine. It's likely 0W-16. There's a dipstick that can verify if...
It's not in the Owners Manual. It's in a separate pamphlet called Warranty & Service Information.
You might have to reset the clock. There's really nothing to worry about after disconnecting the 12V.
I base that on whether I need my headlights to illuminate the road for me. If I can see the road, I'm only interested in other people seeing me...
My switch goes OFF, AUTO, PARKING, ON. In low light conditions (dawn, dusk, weather, etc.) I prefer Parking to Auto because I will have the tail...
Maybe their 4th Gen is a Touring model, with 17-inch wheels. That would make a difference. Also, there's the extra battery weight in the Prime as...
All this tracks with a leak in the brake fluid reservoir (cracked?) or downstream from there. Isn't the brake fluid reservoir near the bulkhead on...
I hope you changed the oil filter with each oil change--I'm sure you have, just didn't mention it. Also, I hope you inspected/cleaned/replaced the...
My first thought was rodent damage. Is the car parked outside? Or could it be water/flooding damage?
Once since new. Same scenario as you, but I did hear the sound of a "rock" hitting the windshield while driving. I searched the visible portion of...

IPM failure was a thing with Gen 3's (your 2012 is a Gen 3). Seems some components (capacitors?) were not bonded correctly during manufacture and...
Whenever the Prime is using the ICE, it's practically the same vehicle as the Prius Hybrid, and 54 MPG is a good number. 100 MPG is misleading....
When I got my 2016, I too noticed the EV indicator was not coming on when I thought it should, so I began using the power distribution display...
By the way, the newer Primes went back to the full back bench seat, not buckets. Don't know which year, though.
The '16 Model Three Touring does not have a HUD. I think you have to go Model Four to get a HUD. Touring meant you got 17-inch wheels instead of...
If you're filing JOINT, there is only one AGI reported on your tax return, regardless of who earns the income. So the IRS wouldn't even know the...
It's never a good idea to manually shut down the ICE in a Prius while it is still running. The computer has decided the engine needs to be...
I'm not an expert on the Prime, but I don't see how the 12V will go flat with the car in READY. Perhaps there is a timeout that will turn the car...
