What is the life span of a Scion tc?

I have a 2006 Scion TC that Ive already put 120k miles on from commuting back and forth on the LA freeways for work. Ive never had any major problems and it still runs like a charm. Toyota doesn't skimp or disappoint on quality.

I expect to put 200k miles on this.

What type of oil does a 2006 Scion Tc take?

depending on the mileage, a full synthetic or a synthetic blend is my recomendation. A conventional oil (standard) is good for 3000 miles. synthetic blend oil is good for about 4000 miles and a full synthetic is good for 5000 miles. If your tc is over 75000 miles then either a full sythetic or a high mileage oil is recomended. I bought my tc at 72000 miles and right away i ran an engine flush, tanny flush, coolant flush, fuel system cleaner and had a full synthetic oil change and the car runs brand new.

Easy. With key in ignition and car off, press the odometer reset button into full down position. Turn key to position just before full start and continue holding the button until the light goes off and internal maintenance mileage counter light resets.

Note the light begins to blink on start up as the maintenance counter nears the schedule before it stays "on" continuously awaiting a reset. This procedure is detailed in the tc manual.

What size are the wipers for a 2005 Scion xB?

The 2005 Scion xB takes 20" wiper blades on both sides front. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

You left the gas cap off on your 2005 Scion Tc and the check engine light came on how do you reset it?

My 2006 xA engine light will periodically come on even thought the gas cap is on. When that happens, I remove the cap and replace it double-clicking it to make sure it is sealed tight. I'm going to try and clean the gasket on the cap and where the gasket seals on the tube to remody the problem.

It's under your front seat. Move the seat forward and you can get to it from the back. Isn't that stupid?

What does the warning light exclamation symbol mean on the dashboard of your Scion tc?

It means your tire pressure is low on one of your tires. Fill to the specified psi (located on the tire wall), then push reset button to turn off exclamation point light (located in glovebox). Owner's manual tells you all about it.

The pressure listed on the tire sidewall is the max safe pressure for that tire. The pressure specification for the vehicle will be listed on a label on the drivers door jamb, in the owners manual, or in the glove box.

How much would it cost to install vertical doors on a 2005 Scion xb?

Well, that's quite the vague question. If you have a "Universal" kit, than the shop you take it to will have to align and drill holes, possibly roll your fenders as well as the possibility of having to weld the hinge onto your vehicle. At the labour costs of $65/hour+, you're looking at upwards of $600 (at the least) for a good job! Whereas a "bolt on" kit (from a reputable company), will take much less time because there is no welding or aligning to make sure they drill the holes perfectly for your vehicle! They should only have to roll the fenders and make sure the hinge is perfectly flat against your vehicle (same with the Universal kit). This should only take Max 4 hours to do... so anywhere around the $250 mark... or so. All just estimates and personal experience.... DON'T go with universal.. IMO Good luck!!
