Oil changes are an important part of maintaining any vehicle and to ensure your Scion’s longevity. Conventional oil changes should be done every 3000-5000 miles. If using synthetic oil, you should change it closer to every 5000-7000 miles. With a couple tools and the right supplies, changing your oil on a 2011-2013 Scion tC is not difficult.
It is important to be cautious when changing your oil or anytime you are under a vehicle. Make sure your car is secure on jack stands or ramps before getting underneath. Also let the engine cool off before changing your oil so that the oil is not too hot.
After purchasing the supplies and gathering the tools, follow this guide to replace the oil and oil filter in your 2011-2013 Scion tC.
Note: Always check with the manufacturer or the manual provided with your vehicle to determine the proper oil weight to use.
Warning: Conducting maintenance or repair on your vehicle can be dangerous. Exercise extreme caution when following this guide.

Using two hands, turn the jack handle clockwise and raise the car.

Using the 14mm socket wrench, loosen the drain plug by turning counterclockwise until you can turn the plug by hand.

Once the plug is slightly loose, place the oil drain pan underneath the plug, remembering to account for the arc of the stream when placing the oil pan.

Allow oil to drain freely until drops of oil are slowly coming from the drain. Then re-tighten the oil drain plug using the 14mm socket wrench.

That 3/8” extension removes a plug that allows for clearing the oil from the filter before removal. this does not remove the filter housing.
