OVERFILL - This is an irritating problem a number of Prius owners have to deal
with. Careless mechanics will sometimes pour too much oil into the engine. Beside the risk of damage from overfill, efficiency is reduced. Excess oil will cause MPG to drop.

SYNTHETIC - A simple way to better protect your engine from wear and increase
efficiency a little bitis to switch from regular oil to synthetic. And by doing it yourself, rather than paying a mechanic, you’ll save some money and have greater confidence that it was done properly.

AT YOUR OWN RISK - No liability is acceptedfor anything mentioned within this
document; all actions are at your own risk. You are responsible for any damage caused by improper use of tools, including over-tightening of components. Proceed with care.

SEVERE INJURY - Lifting and working underneath a vehicle can be very dangerous.
Inadequate support can cause the vehicle to fall on top of you, resulting in serious bodily harm or evendeath. Please be very cautious.

Lift location is on the side of the Prius. Use a jack for lifting, then secure it with a stand so the other side can be lifted too.

Before lifting the vehicle you must find a level surface to do the work. Once you drive the Prius there, engage the parking-brake (shown below) bydepressing the pedal all the way.

To assure the Prius doesn’t roll at all when you are lifting in or while working underneath, secure at least one of the back tires. Any large heavy object that is difficult to push will do, such as the 40lb. bags of rock salt shown below. BOTH sides of the tire should be secured, like the example below.

Carefully observe the placement of the jack grip. Make sure there is no possible way it could slip as the vehicle rises, which causes the jack to move forward. The placement is actually more important than all the grippers needing to make full contact; directly under the connecting bolt for the frame works well.
