IMPORTANT
MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both
routinely check your vehicle’s engine
oil level (once a month) and regularly
replace the engine oil and oil filter
(see the Maintenance Log section of
this booklet to determine how often
you should change your vehicle’s oil
and filter). Failure to do so can cause
oil starvation and or oil gelling, which
can result in severe damage to your
vehicle and require costly repairs that
are not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Maintenance Records
To make sure your warranty coverage
stays intact, you need to maintain your
Scion according to the
recommendations in this booklet. You
should keep records of vehicle
maintenance, including date and
mileage at time of service and a
description of service items performed
and parts installed. The scheduled
maintenance log can help you keep
track of this information. If you sell
your car, be sure to give your
maintenance records to the new owner.
Scion will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you don’t have records
to show that you maintained your
vehicle. However, damage or failures
caused by lack of proper maintenance
are not covered under warranty.
Maintenance Providers
You can have maintenance and repair
services done by any automotive
service provider you choose, or you can
do them yourself. Scion won’t deny a
warranty claim solely because you used
a service provider other than a Scion
dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failures
caused by improper maintenance or
repairs are not covered under warranty.
NOTE: Only Scion dealerships and
Toyota dealerships are authorized to
provide warranty service/repairs for
your Scion.
Dealer-Recommended
Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than those
listed in the scheduled maintenance
log. These additional services are not
required to maintain your warranty
coverage. Ask your dealer to explain
any recommended maintenance not
included in the scheduled maintenance
log.
For a complete description of Toyota
warranty coverages, see the
Warranty Information portion of this
booklet.

Miles or Months?
Scion recommends obtaining
scheduled maintenance for your vehicle
every 5,000 miles or six months,
whichever comes first.
For example:
>If you drive 5,000 miles in less than
six months, you should obtain
maintenance at 5,000 miles- don’t
wait until six months.
>If at six months you have driven less
than 5,000 miles, you should obtain
maintenance at six months- don’t
wait until 5,000 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage
so that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low-mileage
driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every
six months.
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance
items, the maintenance log indicates
services that should be performed on
vehicles that are driven under
especially demanding conditions.
These “special operating conditions”
and their required maintenance items
are clearly indicated in each chart.
NOTE: You should perform these
additional maintenance services
only if the majority of your driving is
done under the special operating
conditions indicated. If you only
occasionally drive under these
circumstances, it is not necessary
to perform the additional services.
Engine Oil Selection
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual
for the specific oil viscosity rating
recommended for your vehicle/engine
type.
SuperChrome and Alloy
Wheel Care
If you purchased genuine Toyota
accessory Aluminum Alloy Wheels,
follow these cleaning guidelines to
maintain the appearance of your alloy
wheels:
>If wheels are hot, wait for them to
cool before washing.
>Use a soft sponge or cotton cloth to
apply the same mild car-wash soap
as used for the vehicle body. Quickly
rinse off with water. Use a soft cloth
to apply the same car wax as used
for the vehicle body.
>DO NOT USE: Any kind of chemical
based cleaners, alcohol, solvents,
gasoline, steam cleaners, scouring
pads, wire brushes, or coarse
abrasives to clean your wheels.

Your Scion is equipped with Genuine
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant.

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.
