Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Prius’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Prius car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
2014 Toyota Prius Oil Changes
Toyota recommends having your 2014 Toyota Prius’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Prius may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2014 Toyota Prius motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Prius oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Prius’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Prius's engine.
2014 Toyota Prius Oil Change Questions
-
What does it mean if my Toyota Prius oil light comes on? Your Toyota Prius oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
-
Can I change my Toyota oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
-
Why is my Toyota Prius spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2014 Toyota Prius
Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Prius’s power on the road. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota Prius engine tune-up services.

Questions About 2014 Toyota Prius Engine Tune-Ups
-
What happens if my Toyota Prius spark plugs fail? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
-
What should I do if I see leaks under my Prius? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
-
How often do Toyota Prius fuel injectors need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Prius fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.
2014 Prius Toyota Steering & Suspension Services
When you first bought your 2014 Toyota Prius, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Prius jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 Toyota Prius in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.
Questions About 2014 Toyota Prius Steering & Suspension
-
Why is my Toyota Prius bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Prius goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
-
Why does my Prius's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Prius's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
-
Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Prius's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2014 Toyota Prius A/C problems.

Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.
2014 Toyota Prius A/C System FAQs
-
Why do I get hot air from my Prius A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
-
How does my A/C system get a leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Prius's A/C system.
-
What is causing my Prius’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your Prius’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Questions About 2014 Toyota Prius’s Transmission
-
How often does my Prius transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2014 Prius’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
-
Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Prius? Yes. Toyota Prius transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
-
Can I still drive my Toyota Prius if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
