2010-15 Toyota Prius Engine Under Cover Removal

 

Because you’ll be working underneath your car, safety goggles are an absolute necessity. Do not attempt unless you are wearing a pair.

Step 1:

Working on a flat and level surface, place wheel chocks on the rear wheels and then jack up the front of the car. Place a jack stand on each front jack support on the chassis.

Step 2:

In order to access the automatic transmission fluid fill and drain plugs, you’ll need to remove the engine under cover. This involves removing six 10 mm bolts and 13 push-pin retainer clips. If the clips are worn and brittle, this would be a good time to replace them.

Removing both clips and bolts should take you approximately 15 minutes if it is your first time and subsequently quicker. This is what the cover looks like and where the bolts (yellow) and clips (red) are located to visually help you expedite the removal process.

P.S. Since removing the engine under cover is an involved procedure in itself, you might want to consider performing these maintenance service at the same time if possible:

    Inverter coolant exchange
    Engine coolant exchange
    Automatic transmission fluid exchange WS
    Replacing the positive crankcase ventilation valve (PCV)

Doing all aforementioned services together should take you approximately 3 hours.
