2008 Scion xD Maintenance Schedule

You want your Scion xD to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your xD could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine xD maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 Scion xD!

Scion knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your xD running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2008 Scion xD problems.

Bring your 2008 Scion xD to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your xD’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2008 Scion xD be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your xD may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Scion xD battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your xD stranded. Your Scion xD could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2008 Scion xD's engine run smoother. To learn how often Scion recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 xD, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2008 Scion xD.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Scion xD can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Scion xD steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Scion xD's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Scion xD maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Scion xD engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Scion xD? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2008 Scion xD maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
