    Hello everyone! First time posting here, I recently got my mom a Prius C and I do the general maintence myself but do have her take it to the dealer for an oil change ever so often for the inspection. This time around they advised that a "cooling system service" was nessary along with the inverter coolant.

    I am not very familar with hybrids as I have only owned BMWs. Is there anyting special that needs to be done for the cooling system service or is it simply flushing the engine coolant?

    Thanks again!

    welcome!
    it is a bit more complicated, but not much. btw, these services aren't recommended until 100,000 miles.
    just follow the o/m maintenance, and maybe throw in a tranny fluid change.
