Toyota recommends having your 2015 Toyota Prius’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Prius may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Toyota Prius. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

2015 Toyota Prius Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Toyota Prius motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Toyota Prius engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Toyota Prius oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Toyota Prius oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Toyota Prius oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Prius oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Prius's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Toyota Prius oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
