I bought this from Toyota. 10 year/100k. So far I have had the starter and the oilpump replaced.

Generally going to E30-E40 blend doesn't help temps over all. Even E85 doesn't really change much unless you're injecting it like meth in the charge pipe.
Yes, it lowers the combustion chamber temp by a bit (not much though) and you'll see EGT's drop by 150ish degrees F if you're just running...
I let my car run for 5-10 min after lapping. Gives the turbo time to cool down so you don’t bake oil inside it and end up with a failure.
pretty sure I also read that the water pump stays on after the car is shut down to help cool everything. Shuts off when the fan does.
...are known for oil consumption and starvation but at this point 10 years later we know everything about the voodoo. I just had to replace the oilpump and oil filter housing for the supra so every car has its issues. Besides that I do think I will pull the trigger on the 350.Going to test...
There's plenty of errors that can show up via an OBD reader that won't throw a warning light. For example I had oil pressure warnings before my pump began to fail that wouldn't throw any lights.
If you don't have one / aren't willing to get one, you can drive to Autozone and use their OBD...
...WHP?), but my car came with JB4 when I bought it, otherwise I'd have unlocked from the start.
3 - For a 2021 a common problem is a failing oilpump caused by plastic components wearing down. 2022+ has an all-metal pump that lacks this issue. The way to check is to take a drive then park and...
yeah i turned on the secret menu to check.
I live in a tropical country with ambient temp of around 28c, after leaving the car overnight, the moment i start up the engine, its at 55C basically instantly. It hits 100-110c in 15 mins, and basically stays there.
So i need to either test it after...
Ok so if I understand you correctly then your particular car has a 5degree C operating window to measure the oil qty? I think from memory the owners manual says 30 min driving which should bring the oil temp into the 60-100C range (I always test it after a drive) which concurs with what you have...
...your pump failed, you would not be able to measure it at all, regardless of temperature., you will also likely hear a whirring sound of the oilpump consistently while driving (you can hear an example of it when doing the oil measurement test), and if its serious, you will see an oil pressure...
This is a stupid question, but how do you know if your oilpump is failing.
I have a 2020 unit, and this afternoon it showed low oil after 3000 miles, asking me to top up 1 quart , during this time, it refused to do the full measurement and stopped around 20%, and just said oil at minimum...
...being needed are for DAW turbos smoking due to oil.
I myself also formerly had this issue, but I'm not sure if it was due to my faulty oilpump (replaced now) over pressurizing the turbo, poor crankcase ventilation (wasn't running a breather then), or the DAW UFX having poor drainage (what I...
tbh, i don’t know how you do all this intense wrenching yourself plus helping others and still have the passion and the energy to track!! A break is well-earned.
Unless I get an itch I can't scratch this year, I think the Supra is going to take the season off and I will upgrade the trans and swap the oilpump this coming winter.
I did get a set of track tires delivered today for the M240i so I can try that boat anchor on the track soon...
Im jealous! Down here where I live in FL it seems my local dealers are a bit inept unfortunately. But, in this circumstance at least after some fight from them they're doing more than just the coolant pump work. They recharged my ac compressor, cleaned up the engine bay, flushed my brakes...
