Beware Walmart FRAM Air Filters for xB
This filter simply does not seal correctly. The lip does not match up with the air box. It's close and will "work" but it's not really the same shape and size as the original oem.
I'd really like to know if anyone else has seen this problem?

I find AC Delco oil filter are very good. They rate high in testing against others.
I've used them on various other vehicles I've owned with no issues.......

uhhhhhhh this is confusing because the guy who started the article wrote oil filter in the subject line but was talking about an air filter not matching up to his air box.... Hmmmmm an oil filter isn't going to fit in your air box to begin with bro.
As for parts... get a K&N drop in filter (lasts a lifetime) and always go OEM on oil filters.

...Buy 10 on E-BAY....
Air and Oil filters can be had on E-BAY cheaply. 10 OEM (longer) oil filters for $30 + $10 shipping still comes out to $4 per OEM filter. Crush washers are available for $1 for ten of them. If you go to wally-world, you may get that price on a FRAM filter, the cheapest filter made, and the poorest quality.
I bought ten filters as I am doing my own oil changes. I bought 10 more because they will fit on my garage shelf and it looks cool to have filters stacked up to the celing.
Search E-BAY Motors for Scion XB oil filters..... or Scion ail filters..... or Scion Cabin Air Filters.
