In these days of insanely expensive gasoline, the Scion XA is a nice vehicle to have, offering nearly 40 MPH on the highway and around 30 MPG in the city. In order to continue to enjoy this kind of fuel economy however, proper maintenance is required. An engine that is badly or irregularly maintained will definitely waste fuel.

This will not only cost you extra money when you fill up - you'll likely wind up spending more in terms of time and money on repairs. Fuel injectors get fouled, carbon deposits build up on the valves and prevent them from operating properly, and unburned fuel can burn up in the exhaust components - resulting in damage to your oxygen sensor, catalytic converter and muffler.

Your engine will start losing power as well. That's not good for a small four cylinder engine that probably doesn't have a great deal of power in the first place. The Scion XA Air Filter is small and inexpensive thing, but it is very important to the overall health of the fuel system. Dirt and dust that enters the intake system can cause valve fouling and small scratches on the cylinder walls - which really adds up over time, causing oil burning and compromising engine compression. This ultimately equals loss of power. A dirty Scion XA Air Filter literally "chokes" the engine, keeping the fuel mixture from getting enough air, causing the engine to run "rich." Be sure to change your Scion XA Air Filter once a year, or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.The best deals on Saturn parts and accessories are right here - and you can order yours 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
