Replying to: george303 (Oct 05, 2007 4:25 pm) After 1000 miles I'd have the oil changed out just to be safe, dealers have said it doesn't need it, but never take the chance. It's just oil, drain it out, replace it. Why? Because there is a chance of as the engine breaks in, small shavings get into the oil. Some will dispute this, but they're not engineers. So do yourself a favor and change the oil after the break in period.

Replying to: mackabee (Oct 13, 2007 7:46 pm) went to dealer's garage for 1k checkup. He said wait for 3,000 miles to change oil and filter .Something about waiting for the gaskets to swell? Now i'm confused. will it hurt to change at 1k?? Thanks, George

Replying to: george303 (Oct 20, 2007 6:51 pm) dealer is full of it, to put it lightly. Gaskets to swell? hahaha.. that's hilarious, what a lie.  No it WILL not hurt it to change it 1k miles. There is no "special break-in oil" in the tC's engine, it's regular oil. If that dealer you're going to won't change it, find another dealer who will. You're a paying customer, plus you have THREE free oil changes thanks to Scion, unless they changed that too. You should be confused! Your dealer is making up lies. |

Replying to: george303 (Oct 20, 2007 6:51 pm) ) and I did experience oil seeping through the valve covers so I switched back. Didn't hurt anything. God I miss that car!  It's two complimentary oil changes on the 08's. Mackabee |
