What to Know About 2009 Scion xD Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Scion xD to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your xD. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get xD maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2009 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your xD perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2009 Scion xD problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Scion xD

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Scion xD for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your xD's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2009 Scion xD. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your xD may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Scion xD battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Scion xD won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2009 Scion xD's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2009 xD. 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 2009 Scion xD.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Scion xD can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Scion xD's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Scion xD maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. 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. Need a new Scion xD radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2009 Scion xD maintenance.

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

2009 Scion xD Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 2009 Scion xD. Get answers to common Scion xD maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Scion xD alignment checked? Watch out for pothole damage. If your 2009 xD is pulling to one side or the other, your tires or suspension system could be calling out for help.
  • When should I switch my Scion xD to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Scion xD engines.
  • Can Scion dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Scion xD to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
