2013 Scion xB Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Scion's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Scion tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. 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.
  • When should I have my xB's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 xB’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Scion xB? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Scion xB, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Is it okay to drive a xB with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your xB if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
