I do have a few questions.

When would be the ideal mileage to take your scion xb in for an oil change.

I showed my salesman the site and he's telling everyone about the site.

When is the first major maintinence suppose to be?

My xb has been through hell (scratches).

**My scion xb hasnt come close to achieving atleast 300 miles on a tank.
How should I deal with this situation and is there anything that I can do?

Thanks:

You will only see 300 miles on a tank if it is all HWY and no more than 60 mph or so. Otherwise you will usually see 250-290 depending on your driving style.

RTFM - READ THE *$*$(#* MANUAL! You're in the showroom, open their demo's glovebox and take a looksie

Just Kidding I believe it says 7000 for normal driving, and 5000 for more agressive driving, more city driving.

I did read it.

Maintinence is 5k and 7k I believe..

But how about oil changes?

(no one is averaging 300+ on their xb?) that sucks.

Oil changes are just like I said, every 7k for nromal driving, 5k for agressive and excessive city driving.
