2008 Scion xD Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Scion's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Scion xD? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your xD’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my xD's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Scion xD transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Scion, so check with your technician first. 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 xD? Yes. Scion xD transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
