2014 Scion xB Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Scion xB engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Scion xB engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Scion xB oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Scion exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Scion xB oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Scion xB oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Scion xB oil light comes on? Your Scion xB oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change.

  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Scion xB? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Scion xB every time you change the oil.
