Now if it were I who was driving even fewer miles back home from the dealership, I'd see if they or you can get at least the bumper, hood, and fenders PPFed before you leave. Also, the breakin mileage is 1200, with engine speed not to exceed 4500 rpm and vehicle speed not to exceed 100 mph. Vary...
1. I wouldn't have to repeat if those who attacked had read what I said, previously.
2. If posts are being deleted, why not delete the page that lists diesel oils. How many GR Supras have diesel engines?
3. Since Toyota's GR oil is approved by Toyota, and is factory fill, it should be added.
....said the guy who blames me for pointing out logical reasons for using the factory oil.
My guess is that you never participated in a debate club at school.
I'm sorry, but this argument isn't about me, it's about those who refuse to look at the details of usage.
I just spent 15 minutes reviewing many posts on bobistheoilguy. The majority of these posts include the same things I've been saying here. This statement sums it up, nicely:
" If the thin...
The problem with the razor clan is that you feel that four or five guys can overrule anyone who disagrees with what you have to say. I found this out, soon after joining the forum. When my diff output shaft seal started leaking, a few forum guys tried to tell me that the dealership Supra tech...
You may have noticed that the page above is for "topping up" oils. The oil fill specifications are the same as the US specs.
When I was in my early 20s, all oil was plain multi-viscosity oil. As such, viscosity range was tied to more conditions (below freezing, long, high-speed highway drives...
Very nice! - an advanced version of the one I bought. Now I think I'll place some carpet tape under my jumper cables box to prevent it from sliding around.
Spent $7 at Grocery Outlet for a cloth-coved collapsible storage box and a small aluminum flashlight for the glovebox.
Update, 4-13-25: placed a 2-inch long piece of double-sided carpet tape (that was hanging on the peg board in the garage) under the booster cable box to prevent it from sliding...
Both oils listed in our owner's manuals are fully certified. They are not cheap, regarding quality or cost.
True, and hopefully, Toyota and BMW update their manuals if there are changes to relevant components in the B58 engine, but at present, does anyone here really think that the oils listed...
In comparison of C8s to our Supras:
Since the 2020 model year, GM has produced an average of 35,564 Corvettes per year, whereas Supras during the same amount of years averaged 4587 cars per year.
Your quote:
There is a list of all approved/recommended oils on the first page.
This literally means that the GR oil and Liqui Moly oils are NOT approved, according to you. Get it?
I was considering a second gen NSX, along with a Lotus Emira before I bought my Supra. According to what I've seen in an NSX forum, they ARE among the most reliable within the exotic car realm.
In the end, I determined that the Supra, being both rare and at a much lower cost (and hatch with...
So according to you, because your list does not include the factory Toyota GR oil and Liqui Moly Longlife, then you insinuate that owners MUST switch to any of those shown on your tables.
THAT's the basis of my arguments.
Ah, but here's the key difference. I don't have a problem with the factory oil. Some people lose their politeness when anyone disagrees with them. I've provided plenty of counter arguments that show the that the specified oil is just fine for typical street use.
Guys who regularly race insist...
