2004 TOYOTA xA oil change

ow that you’ve got your Scion on the road, you want to make
sure it keeps going. That’s where scheduled maintenance
comes in. Taking your car in for regular service will help your
ride run better and last longer. It will keep your repair bills down, too.
This booklet makes it easy to keep your Scion running smoothly. The
maintenance log lists all the factory-recommended services and tells
you when your vehicle needs them. You’ll also find information on how
Scion and your dealership can help you with maintenance and repairs.
Be sure to look this booklet over carefully and keep it in your glove box.
Do what it says and your Scion should be happy for many miles to come.
Complimentary Oil Changes
To help you get started with regular maintenance, Scion provides your
vehicle’s first three oil changes on a complimentary basis. To find out
how to obtain your complimentary oil changes, see page 17.
Remember that changing the oil is just one of the maintenance ser-
vices that should be performed regularly on your Scion. Make sure that
all the other services recommended in this booklet are performed on
your car as well.
Put It In Writing
To help you keep track of your Scion’s service history, each mainte-
nance chart in this booklet includes:
›Boxes to check for each service item performed
›Space for the maintenance provider to include a service
verification stamp
›Space to write the date and mileage that service is performed
Documenting your service history may make your car worth more when
you’re ready to sell. There’s a reason smart people write things down.
In addition to scheduled maintenance, your vehicle requires
general maintenance such as fluid checks and visual inspections.
These procedures are explained in the “Vehicle Maintenance and
Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual. To keep your Scion out of
trouble, be sure to perform these procedures regularly.
Scion is a marque of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

Determining Your Scion’s Maintenance Needs ‹‹

To help you get started with regular maintenance, Scion provides your
vehicle’s first three oil changes on a complimentary basis. While they
don’t have to be your initial three oil changes, the oil changes must be
obtained within 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first) of your
vehicle’s original in-service date. If you bought your Scion used and the
previous owner did not use all three oil changes, you are entitled to the
remaining complimentary oil changes if your car is still within 3 years
or 36,000 miles of its original in-service date.
To obtain a complimentary oil change, call a Scion dealership or partici-
pating Toyota dealership to make an appointment. The dealership will
verify that the service was performed by completing one of the boxes
on the inside back cover of this booklet.
Complimentary oil changes include change of engine oil and oil filter
only. You are responsible for the cost of any other services performed
at the time of your complimentary oil changes, including other mainte-
nance services listed in the scheduled maintenance log.
