Oil Changes for 2011 Scion tC

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2011 Scion tC? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Scion recommends having your 2011 Scion tC’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Scion-recommended oil change intervals, your tC may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Scion if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Scion tC. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2011 Scion tC motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Scion has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2011 tC. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your tC’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your tC by considering your driving style, climate,
