Scion recommends changing your 2016 iA’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your iA in the above table. Outside of Scion-recommended oil change intervals, your iA may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Scion recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Scion iA. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
