Why check the motor oil level in my Scion xB?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your xB’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Scion xB oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Scion xB exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Who can change the oil on my Scion xB?

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Scion xB oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.

What does it mean if my Scion xB oil light comes on?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Scion xB oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Does my xB's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

It's recommended that you replace your Scion xB oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.

How Often to Get 2006 Scion xB Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2006 Scion xB? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Scion recommends changing your 2006 xB’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your xB may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Scion if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Scion xB. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
