NEVER take Your Toyota Prius C to the Mechanic for THIS Repair! #automobile #diy #toyota
Here’s a video for a 2016 Toyota Prius C oil change with step by step instructions. We also change the Prius C Cabin Air Filter and Intake Air Cleaner. This video works for all 1st Generation Prius C including the facelift revisions in 2015 and 2018 to current (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, to 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 to current). This Toyota Prius C (NHP10) has the 1.5 Liter 1NZ-FXE engine. This how-to guide shows you how to raise the car, locate the drain plug, replace the paper filter element in the oil filter housing, and how to fill the oil in the Toyota Prius C.
