What is the 2010 Toyota Prius oil type?

I’ve been wanting to buy a hybrid for the longest time and I found a 2010 Prius in great condition! I’m so excited to start driving it, but I need an oil change first. What kind of oil does it take?

Congrats on the big purchase! You’ll love the Prius—and the fuel savings! The 2010
Toyota Prius
oil type is 0W-20 full synthetic oil. Its 1.8-liter engine can hold 4.4 quarts of oil, and you’ll want to change it out every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to make sure your engine stays running. It’s crucial to use the right type of oil to avoid damaging your engine, so double-check with your owner’s manual if you’re uncertain.
