    I'm planning to change my PSD fluid at 30k miles and was wondering where the drain and fill plugs are. The only reference that I could find is at http://hiwaay.net/~bzwilson/prius/pri_T_cold.html . The photo shows an earlier model and mine is a 2005 which seems to be a little different. I didn't want to accidentally remove the coolant plugs. Does anyone have a link to this proceedure or a good photo that I can reference to? Thanks

    If the photo isn't enough, the PSD drain plug takes a 10mm hex, whereas the inverter drain plug is a 24mm socket.

    The fill plug is also a 24mm socket, but it's on the side of the PSD, not the bottom.

    Thanks,
    Shawn

    Sorry 'bout that.

    I've put a link to the photo in the web page and will add more text shortly.
