Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps for cracks, deterioration and damage. Replace
any deteriorated or damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the grease. A qualified
technician should perform these operations.
Engine Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check for damage,
excessive wear and oiliness, and replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain and flush the cooling system and refill with an ethylene-glycol type coolant.
Inspect the radiator, condenser and/or intercooler for leaves, dirt and insects, and
clean if necessary. Inspect hoses and connections for corrosion and leaks. Tighten
connections and replace parts as necessary. A qualified technician should perform
these operations. (For further details, refer to “Radiator, Condenser and Hoses” in the
“Vehicle Maintenance and Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual.)
Note:
Your Scion is equipped with Genuine Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant. The
replacement intervals for engine coolant recommended in this booklet are based on
replacement with Genuine Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant or similar high-quality
non-silicate, non-amine, non-borate ethylene-glycol coolant with long-life hybrid
organic acid technology (i.e., a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).
If another type of ethylene-glycol coolant is used, replacement intervals may be
different.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and refill the engine oil at specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity, refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
Engine Valve Clearance
Check for tappet noise and engine vibration and adjust if necessary. A qualified
technician should perform this operation.
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration and
damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten
connections or replace parts as necessary.
