Yeah I have heard of them 3 but was wandering which one was best

I've heard some bad things about royal purple

 

Motor oil is all personal preference, there's many endless debates all over the internet as to what brand is superior. For a suggestion's sake, I use Mobil 1 0W20, been using it since the car's first oil change.

 

2008 bought Oct. 15, 2007 traded in at 98,286 miles on Dec. 10, 2011.

 

WHAT!!! what did you trade it in for?

 

I remember he said he was going for a 2012 xB2, unless he changed his mind.

 

Yup, 2012 xB in CSM, just like the last one... now I get to start over with the mods.

 

Hit 80k Today on my 08 XB. Still running strong

 

I just hit the 100K mark in my 09 last weekend. They racked up quickly because I used to have a 73 mile commute (one way), so most of it is on the freeway with the cruise set at 75. Now the commute is a whopping 2-3 miles, but we still take my car everywhere (hence my wife's 04 Accord having only 65K miles or so). The car also saw its fair share of autocross, though, so you can't say it's lived a pampered life.

Issues? None, really. At least, no show-stoppers. The clutch squeaks when it's cold (has for years), the shift boot has a small tear, and the windshield and driver's windows rattle a bit (but I attribute that to crappy-fitting aftermarket glass from Safelite more than anything else).

I'm on my 3rd set of tires (Continental ExtremeContacts, love 'em) and have replaced all the necessary filters and fluids as necessary, but that's it. Heck, I'm still on the original pads with PLENTY of meat left. The shocks were about gone, but if you ask me, they were 'blown from the factory' anyway. Just replaced with TRD units a couple of weeks ago SO much better!

Here's looking at another 100K problem-free miles, or however long it takes me to upgrade to something else, which I honestly hope comes sooner. It's been a good car, but is about as exciting as paint drying.

08 97K only issue burns oil...but since I've changed the PCV valve looks like its gotten better. Still awaiting results and checking weekly.

Sold my dropped 02 Passat wagon for my box and never looked back.

Wide misses the heated leather seats but she appreciates the gas mileage greatly.

Son loves the space in the back seat.

I love the ability to just leave when we want to and not have to jack the car up every weekend.

 

Almost to 30k now. Zero issues.

 

Got my car 9-29-2007 as of 1-16-2012 im at 28,xxx

 

08 scion xb, purchased Aug, 2007. with 1mile odo. I currently have 105,000 on it.

 

31800 and only had to change the water pump no other issues

 

08 with 42k only issues water pump and a/c compressor due an accident

 

37 miles bought last Thursday. 1,000 miles within FIRST WEEK of ownership! Hehe, I smell a personal repeat...

 

I'm about to pass 60k. Only issues have been a water pump (they all leak), and some gear whine in the differential. The whine wasn't an "it's gonna blow up any moment" noise. It probably would have gone forever the way it was, but I work at a dealer so I had them swap it out while it was still under warranty.

The water pumps are VERY common, and it's mainly due to the EXTREMELY thin super long life coolant (SLLC) that Toyota uses these days. It works well, but it leaks out of the tightest of tolerances.

 

2010 XB Purchased in August 2009... currently at 39k... only issue I had that was not covered by warranty was a severed wheel speed sensor wire...almost $300 to get done....but so far nothing with the common Water pump or coil pack issues...window does rattle here n there but mostly on rough roads.....

 

I just purchased my 2010 xB used in Super White 5 days ago with 10,200 miles on it.

 

Bought my 11 in July/11 and now have just about 9500 miles. 2 Oil changes and thats about it.

 

My 2012 Stingray Metallic turned 6 months old this week; 13,400 miles!!
