It gives the engine much less protection. Number 11 said he has 40,000 with no problems, but he has used synthetic which is far superior to the 5W30 10W30 Fuel Conserving oils. I have been using 15W40 Castrol Diesel oil. The mpg did drop 1.6 mpg, but the engine runs great. 33,000.
#18 of 60 starting problems by scion06 Jan 12, 2007 (5:52 pm)
Hi I have been having intermittent starting problems with my new scion. Every once in a while the car will just turn over many times, and then start. i have had it in 3 times for service, and they have no idea what is wrong. If anyone else is having this problem please reply so i can be backed up with this at the dealership. Or if anyone has any ideas as to what is causing it please reply. Thanks Scion06 Replies to this message: richardson (Jan 15, 2007 6:04 pm) hoots (Dec 06, 2007 8:10 am) hondadave7 (Dec 06, 2007 9:28 am)

If you can't show them what it does, they won't do anything. You are wasting your time. My car is resting up north in my garage till late April because I'm in Florida. Unless it throws a code or doesn't start, I wouldn't take it back. Jim Richardson
#20 of 60 Metallic rattling from flywheel/clutch area? by morris7 May 14, 2007 (9:25 am)
Bought an '05 xB with 14k miles. Shortly afterwars, started getting an intermittent metallic rattling sound. It goes away if I push in the clutch slightly. The sound is engine speed dependent, barely there at idle. Does it in neutral and any gears. Intermittent, but happening more often.   Also, sometimes my engine wont turn over at all; I have to bump the car very slightly in gear, then fine. Are the two related? I'm thinking maybe so.
#21 of 60 2008 xb engine by slamon Aug 15, 2007 (10:20 am)
Hi,   I just bought a 2008 xb and love it! However I am having problems with the automatic transmission. I can really feel the shifting from one gear to another especially from 0 to 35 miles per hour. I also feel it dragging when coasting down a long hill. Most of the time I have to keep my foot on the accelerator to keep it from dragging then it shifts real hard. I'm taking it to the dealer but I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem.

#22 of 60 Sunroof by slamon Aug 15, 2007 (10:25 am)
I bought a 2008 xb and had a sunroof put in. I noticed when driving it especially around 30 miles an hour that it sounds like a helicopter is in the car. Very booming and loud. If I crack my side window it goes away. Has anyone else had a sunroof put in. I told the company that put it in about it and they said as far as they know they are the first ones in Missouri to put in a sunroof on a xb so they don't know why it's doing this.

Replying to: slamon (Aug 15, 2007 10:20 am) The transmission has a feature where it downshifts when coasting down a hill, to help the brakes. Keeping a foot on the accelerator when coasting confuses the transmission and causes a bad upshift. Replies to this message: problemxb (Nov 30, 2007 6:36 am) lemon06 (Feb 10, 2008 7:58 pm)

Replying to: slamon (Aug 15, 2007 10:25 am) That's normal. Ditto what they said, you have to crack a window to correct it.

Replying to: aatherton (Aug 17, 2007 12:25 pm) Hey thanks for the info from you and the person that answered after you.!! I have another problem. My XB is at the sunroof installer as we speak because of the shade rattling when the sun roof is open. Otherwise I love the sunroof. To me it's worth every penny. They said they would make it right so I'm crossing my fingers.
