This reply might be a lil late, but having those mods probably would void your warranty. I say you reinstall the stock intake and exhaust then bring it back to the shop. Plus what year scion your have?

well first, my intake has nothing to do with the oil, and my exhaust is TRD which the factory put on, ummmmmm... i actually changed out the FRAM oil filter and replaced it with a K&N performance filter, and as of now it stopped but we'll see, thanks for the reply though

Intake and exhaust will not void your warranty or emissions. A loose oil filter could be your problem.

they will probably see the K&N filter and tell you that since the oil has been changed elsewhere, they wont be able to fix it for free, put a factory toyota filter, or like Navylife said, its probably a loose filter, ur car is too young to break down!!! lololol

Well itz just a warning. Because the *******s at my stevens creek dealer kept bsing me telling me i cant do my own work to it. Though a loose oil filter could be itjust make sure u tighten that.

The filter should strip out before the threaded nipple on the motor.
