Oil Change Q&A for Your 2004 Scion xA

If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Scion xA engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Scion xA oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Scion exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

  • Does my xA's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Scion xA during each oil change.
