2010 Scion xD Maintenance

When it comes to your Scion xD, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your xD has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get xD maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2010 Scion xD maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Scion, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your xD's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2010 Scion xD problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 Scion xD and an expert technician will begin by performing 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2010 Scion xD. 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Scion xD battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty xD) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Scion xD won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2010 Scion xD engine. See Scion's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2010 xD in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2010 Scion xD.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Scion xD can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. 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 (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. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Scion xD’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Scion xD? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2010 Scion xD maintenance.
