Answer to 2nd statement first and not to be ugly!
Most auto mfg warranty 3yr/36m unless having ext warrant. The vehicle has no warranty. aka 04SlvPrius

Next,OEM coolants use dye color agents so you come back to local dealer for product. Drain coolant fluid yes. Flush/clean is almost impossible on this vehicle. Like saying "flush/clean" brake line and master cylinder.
