Need Advice from Savvy People here.
2005 Scion Xa Manual Tranny. I bought at 159k Miles. Never an Engine Light to Today's Date.
Replaced Clean Oil with Mobile One Syn Extended and Matching Filter. Replace Spark Plugs with Iridium. Replaced Drive Belt...
... Aligned, Balanced, Rotated... on New Tiger Paws. I exchanged Gear Oil.
I use best Syns and Air Filters (change to soon probably - but that stuff is cheap). I keep tire Pressure tight every two weeks.
Did the Full Breaks (4) 2 weeks ago.
To Date at 197,000 miles... the 2005 Scion Xa BURNS NO OIL at 6-8k Oil Changes. I had the Coolant
"exchanged" when I bought, also. The Scion uses almost no Coolant (evap, I figure)... a cup of 50/50 every 3 months
to top reservoir. Scion was born and made in Japan.
Its homes are NC and SC (little concern for underbody rust). I'm the 3rd owner.
The Question is:
What you look into doing for this little Baby as a Savvy Mechanic to preserve a well-made
Toyota for... ANOTHER 200K!
(Poster is NOT, by any means, a Mechanic.)
ALL RESPONSES have my FULL ATTENTION!
Curious,
Jimbo
