In this DIY video, I walk you through draining the old automatic transmission fluid (ATF), refilling with fresh fluid, and getting the transmission shifting smoothly again. Whether you’re a first-time DIYer or a seasoned Scion owner, this is a simple and important maintenance job that can help extend the life of your xB’s transmission.
What I covered:
• Tools and materials needed (including the correct ATF type)
• Locating and removing the drain plug
• How much fluid came out and how much went back in
• Tips for checking the level and avoiding common mistakes
• Why regular transmission fluid changes matter for your Scion xB
This is a straightforward drain-and-fill job — no fancy machines required. A full flush is great, but this method is easy, affordable, and effective for most owners.
Parts & Fluid Used:
Toyota ATF IV
Filter WIXs 58324
