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 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

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
