Your Prius V’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It’s one of your Prius V’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2013 Toyota Prius V, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Toyota's recommendations.
