Should I check my Scion xB motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Scion xB engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Scion xB oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. 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 xB spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

Why is the oil light on in my Scion xB?

The oil change light in your Scion xB could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to change my xB's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Every time you change the oil in your Scion xB, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
