The 2014 Toyota Prius runs on a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine that requires 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, though in a pinch, 5W-20 can be used temporarily. However, it's important to switch back to 0W-20 at the next oil change. The car holds 4.4 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 27 ft/lbs. Oil needs to be changed regularly to prevent it from deteriorating, and for the Prius, it should be done every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The oil filter should also be replaced during each oil change. Taking the car to a mechanic for an oil change typically costs between $40 to $60 for labor.
