What to Know About 2004 Scion xB Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Scion xB and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your xB. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get xB maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 Scion xB!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Scion, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your xB perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2004 Scion xB problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Scion xB Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2004 Scion xB for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your xB's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2004 Scion xB. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your xB may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Scion xB battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your xB stranded. Your Scion xB could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2004 Scion xB running newer, longer. To learn how often Scion recommends you have the oil changed in your 2004 xB, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2004 Scion xB.

Routine upkeep for your Scion xB suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Scion xB steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Scion xB's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Scion xB maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Scion xB engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Scion xB? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too.

2004 Scion xB Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2004 Scion xB. Get answers to common Scion xB maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Scion xB? You know your Scion xB better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Scion xB? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Scion xB engines.
  •  Why are my Scion dashboard lights on? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Scion xB to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
