Oil Top Up between Services ???

[PaulBoxer]

I purchased my 2022 Supra 3.0 GR Pro last January & the car was given its first service prior to collection.
My Question is :
Have any owners found the need to Top up their Oil levels in between Services?
I ask as we will be driving through France later in the year and wonder whether I should carry a Top Up Kit, if so do Toyota sell kits?
ThankQ

For long trips I always carry a 1 liter container of oil of choice. For track days maybe 2 just in case.

Car shouldn’t be burning any oil…..

I haven't needed to top mine up in 3 years/15k miles. But do have a 1 litre bottle - supplied by my dealer - of the Gazoo Racing oil for if it needs it.

Before the friends from across the pond jump in: a little oil consumption is normal.

ThankQ for the replies, appreciate the Oil specification detail

Been a year and 5.5k Miles since my last oil change and so far, not needed to top up. Have the bottle just incase but as i'm probably doing yearly services i doubt i'll ever need it

I always keep a quart around simply because all my other track cars used some oil. I’m at 6k miles and still no extra oil use. Maybe mine is broken ? At least the dash hasn’t alerted me of needing any extra yet. I did an oil change at 5k miles.

Thanks again for the feedback.
One thing that I have learnt is that you can use the Radio Preset buttons to not only set Radio channels but also to set things like Tyre pressure and Oil level pages /sub menus so therefore you can access / view Oil Level information without having to hunt through the Menu sub pages …… I’m now easily checking my oil level once a week as I put the car away in the garage

Oh hell YUS! I’ll have to try this… Is this a setting you do in the infotainment system?

 

[PaulBoxer]

Yes very simple, just access the Oil level check page as per normal via the infotainment panel and once you have it showing on the screen just push a “Radio Preset” (in my case number 6) until it beeps the same as setting a radio channel and your done …. You won’t need to hunt for it via the infotainment panel again

That’s so cool ? dude!!!!! Thanks for sharing ?

Can I do this for any of my favorite buried infotainment stuff. Like tire pressure? I’m gonna try it for sure. Just haven‘t been in my car since last track weekend. She’s peppered with track measles (tire marks) and needs a good cleaning….

Having read all the threads before buying my new Supra I was expecting all sorts of top up issues/burning oil, for now I'm at 1700 miles, no issues, never added a drop.
changed the oil at 1200, and bought the official Gazoo Racing Supra oil 1L (hard to find but if you search long enough you can get it). Electronic measurement always says full.

I would have thought purchasing a 1 ltr top up bottle of oil for the Supra would be as easy as visiting your local Toyota dealer’s spare parts department and buying one … am I wrong???

Hi, in theory yes, it's because I wanted this one specifically, not just the generic Toyota motor oil.
Even the dealer didn't use this one for my oil change.
