Why check the motor oil level in my Scion FR-S?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your FR-S’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Scion FR-S oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Scion FR-S spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Do I need to replace my FR-S’s oil filter when changing my oil?

Your 2014 FR-S’s oil should be changed according to Scion’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Scion FR-S. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
