Questions About 2008 Scion xB’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Scion? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Scion? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your xB’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your xB is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my xB transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Scion xB’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Scion. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Scion xB transmission fluid leak? Yes. Scion xB transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
