What is the 2016 Scion iA oil type?

I just bought a used 2016 Scion iA and I want to be sure I have some oil on hand since I don’t know how quickly the engine burns through oil. What kind should I buy?

Congrats on the big purchase!
The 2016
Scion iA
 uses 0W-20 motor oil. The oil cap in your engine should indicate what type of oil your car needs—or you can find it in the owner’s manual for the car.
You’ll have to choose between conventional or synthetic oil. Conventional is cheaper but less healthy for your engine, and requires more frequent changes. We recommend synthetic oil since it’s all around better for your engine, and you won’t need to change it quite as frequently.
Speaking of the health of your car, have you ever wondered if your
car insurance
 policy is…not so healthy? Thousands of people overpay for car insurance for no good reason.

What Others Are Asking

Is engine oil flammable?
While changing my car’s oil in the garage today, I knocked over the container and engine oil spilled all under my workbench. I tried mopping it up, but I know I didn’t get it all. It gets seriously hot under there and I’m worried it could ignite. Can engine oil catch fire?

How do you keep your phone unlocked while driving?
I have a Google Pixel phone that automatically locks when I’m driving. This is annoying because I use the phone for apps that help me get to locations, send hands-free texts, and listen to music. How do I keep my phone unlocked while I’m driving?

How can I get a good deal on a Tesla?
I’ve been seeing more and more Teslas out on the road these days, and I think they’re awesome cars. I really would love to get one, but they are a little on the pricey side. Are there any ways I can get a good deal on a Tesla?
