r/ScionxB

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good day. I had a question. My dad recently decided to buy a 2008 Scion xB with 234,000 miles on it; I don't have the car in my possession yet. My question is: should I stick with 5W-20, or should I opt for 5W-30? The car doesn't smoke, though it did have a "check engine" light triggered by an oxygen sensor in the catalytic converters. What approach should I take? Also, I’d like to know if I can use my VIN to check if the car was part of the ZE7 service campaign, but I don't have access to the "My Toyota Owner" portal since I don't live in the United States.

I want to use 5w20 valvoline Maxlife

Good Morning everybody i just wanted to hear your opinions on this car to see if i should buy it. Scion Xb with 119,000 miles and a 5 speed manual. The paint is a bit faded, suspension sounds like it needs some work, automatic windows but only drivers side works, a/c feels like it can blow colder, valve cover leak, sunroof doesnt work but other than that the car runs good and goes uphill with ease, oil was clean and oil cap had no signs of oil mixing with coolant, interior was nice and car felt like it had good power. Should i buy it? What other things should i look out for? Guy originally asked $3,000 usd for it but i got him down to $2,500. Sorry for the bad quality pictures.

the xB rs 3.0 is one of, if not, my favorite cars of all time. Even if it's a piece of a junk, I'd love to own an rs 3.0. Lmk ur thoughts
Would prob be a beater/backup car, i currently have a tC and i love it

'09 Manual here. Finishing up my 1,700-mile summer round-trip road trip from Raleigh to Detroit tomorrow. I just plopped in some new Denso fuel injectors while sipping a beer on my brother's front lawn. Can't wait to see if that number goes up 🤔

I'll be stopping halfway home in Charleston, WV up in the mountains tomorrow night. Will post new MPGs when I get there.

clean title 169k miles
would be my gfs first car, i currently drive a second gen tC. i have an obsession for first gen xBs and have been looking for a cheap one for awhile now, but honestly have no idea what i'm doing
not looking for a super pristine one, looking for one that can handle someone learning how to drive

FYI. I bought Beck/Arnley fuel injectors. They are Denso parts repackaged and sold as a different brand.

05 xB purchased in October of 2004 when it was first availablr in my area. Repainted a few years ago & put in a new interior to match my Santa business. The badges on the side doors & the back hatch say "North Pole Edition" to match my Santa business. This is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned! 22 years as a daily driver & it's only needed routine maintenance. I've had Mustangs, Chargers & other high performance cars but this little sewing machine engine just keeps running!

Mission or PB.

I'm looking forward to getting a 200K miles sticker 😁

2010 Sizzling Crimson Mica. OEM suspension, bushing and manual transmission/clutch. Besides consumables, replaced only one rear caliper. B12 piston soak last year. Drives like new. 👏😍

Just took delivery of my 2001 Toyota bB. About 55k miles and the interior is perfect. I have a little bit of work to do polishing up the roof and hood as well as replacing a window sill and the roof drip seals (ordered both) but other than those it is in fantastic condition!

I have waned this car since high school and I’m so happy I found one for such a great price.

Yup! We’re both 06 babies.

The car is my day one. That is me on the way home from the hospital after literally being born.

I don’t know if I can ever get another car.
