2013 Toyota Prius V Maintenance

Take care of your Toyota Prius V and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Prius V could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Prius V maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Toyota Prius V!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Toyota themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Prius V's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2013 Toyota Prius V problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2013 Toyota Prius V and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Prius V's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Toyota Prius V. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Toyota Prius V battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Prius V stranded. Your Toyota Prius V could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2013 Toyota Prius V engine. See Toyota's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 Prius V in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2013 Toyota Prius V? We can help with that, too!
