2013 Scion FR-S Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Scion's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Scion FR-S? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your FR-S towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your FR-S is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my FR-S's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 FR-S’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Scion. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Scion FR-S? Yes. Scion FR-S transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

  • Should I avoid driving my Scion FR-S if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your FR-S to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
