Just got a 2017 es300h what next?
Just got a 2016 es300h at 95k km and was wondering what should I do next? I’m thinking I do cabin air filter and engine air filter. What next though? Should I buy some PEA fuel additive any other things I need to worry about? And do es350 carpets fit the 300h?

Congratulations on your new car! I would immediately change the brake fluid since hybrids have a rather expensive actuator/abs pump system. Factory specifies this service every 30k mi/30 months
A service that is not in the maintenance schedule is to change the lifetime CVT fluid. Similar to the first break in oil change, the first time you change this fluid it is black probably form the CVT break in process. Then you will not need to change it again for long time. Maybe after 100k mi again and still fluid will look fine.
Due to your low mileage no other service appears that is needed. Spark plugs, coolant at 120 k mi/10 y and 12v battery at year 8 or 9. Brake pads at around 120k miles. Tires more often. Hopefully the hybrid battery will last 13-15 years before repairing a single module or replacing it with a new one.

Filters could be aftermarket if they have good reviews. I do not think is that important like other parts. Fluids, batteries, spark plugs should be OEM on a complicated hybrid car.
