★ Top Answer
The 2012 Toyota Prius requires OEM Toyota Type-IV transmission fluid, a synthetic fluid that provides excellent protection for the gears in your transmission. I recommend checking your transmission fluid whenever you change your oil. Ensure the fluid level is full and free of any debris. If you notice any reflective or sparkly appearance, it may indicate metal shavings in the fluid. If you find debris, it's best to replace the fluid promptly to prevent further damage to your gears.
