Jimmy,

Just did my 10000 mile maintenance. All you need to do is change the oil and rotate the tires. Back ones go on the front and front one go on the back. They stay on the same side of the car.

This link has some good information on what the service intervals are for the car.

As far as oil, it does not matter which kind you use (dino or Synthetic) just get 5w-20 or 0w-20. I used mobile 1 0w-20 synthetic and a filter I got at the toyota dealer.

Hope that helps,
Dave

I have used both the 5W-20 and 0W-20 oils and have had good fuel economy with both. The 0W-20 seemed to give a slight mpg boost after i started using it.

This is the first time I put it in. The dealer changed my oil the first time with valvoline so I am sure I did not get 0w-20. I figured I would try it this time to see if I get better mileage.

There are a lot of hills in western PA so I know that hurts my fuel economy. We also have a long trip planned for 2 weeks which we are taking the hybrid. We'll see what happens, I guess.
