No, he just means change out the break in oil after 1500-2000 Oh to clarify, I got the break-in oil replaced after 1k miles. Another oil change at 5k miles and this one at 10k miles. This was following the B58 maintenance advice of a BMW tech and not the Toyota manual.

Yes lesson learned. Next new car I buy I want to see the PDI checklist completed and the pucks in the trunk. I think my expectations are too high for dealer service centers. The overpriced GR branded oil is bad?

(Also the car has been serviced 3 or 4 times at the dealership and this was NEVER caught)

Incompetent dealership experience. I booked my car in for an oil change. Dealer realized they had ran out of Supra oil as they were draining my car, so I had to wait 3.5hrs for an oil change... In that (wasted) time on the lift, a younger tech spotted it still had the delivery strut pucks on...

My non mechanic assumption would be the piston head design they changed for the 2021 motor. Either the design is flawed, a machining inconsistency or an assembly training issue on the production line is causing it to not seal like the 2020 design, leading it to burn more oil (as evidenced by...

I asked Orr Motorsport (very reputable BMW shop) if low oil after 4k miles is normal for a B58 motor. Instant "no". Couldn't say anything specific about the Supra/Z4 version of the motor because they haven't seen any out of warranty cars yet. My local GR Supra tech said the vast majority of...

Curious when you guys top up the oil, when do you replace the filter? My assumption is follow whatever the manufacturer recommended intervals (presumably every 10-15k miles?) drain and replace all oil + the filter?

When does break-in start to end? I had the Toyota dealer replace all the oil (with OEM GR Supra oil) after 1k miles as a precaution. I just did another 4k miles after that on the replaced oil and now it's displaying low oil. I'm not too bothered about stocking up on oil and topping it up...

Well, well, well... After 4k miles I have the infamous message. What makes it dubious is the car has been in winter storage for 3 weeks and this was the reading back then. Where did that oil go? There's no leak in the garage. Cold starting it? Or sensor/marker on the screen is very arbitrary?

I think this has been a common practice for high end performance engines for awhile. "Factory break-in" Many aren't even installed in the car. They're hooked up to a computer running performance tests to break it in exactly and then it's approved to be installed in the car. I was quite...

Success! Thanks guys

Hey @Loco38SUP yeah it looks like the red and black parts of the cable will part at the orange junction cable but (difficult to see in pic) it actually only splits at the top 40% the length of the connector. If you imagine a typical car battery with negative on one side and positive on the...

Hey guys I'm new to this winter storage thing. My car is plugged in to a CTEK MXS 5.0 Ground cable is too short to reach Supra's ground connector so I improvised with this chassis bolt on the body (see image) CTEK: * Green light (no flickering) * Set to car and AGM * Car is locked with no...

Probably supply chain issues like everything else right now. And/or the 2021 GR Supras are literally burning through their limited supplies of that oil...?

Good point. If the engine is dismantled under warranty, it will likely be recorded and appear on a Carfax report, hurting resale. Why I've held off on it with mine, given I'm not having any performance issues. Winter is coming though (this car isn't known for its winter performance even with...

:( Sorry to hear your issues Is the car stock? And other than white smoke, are you experiencing anything odd about the performance of the car? (Rough idle, weird sounds, loss of performance etc) If it's modded, I'd also consider a blown turbo and oil burning as a cause of white smoke. If...

Bumping this thread. @Tripjammer any success/updates?

Yeah wondering if anyone has any success with this too. I'm surprised Toyota didn't experiment with replacing these parts before the alleged engine replacements I've been hearing about. Do we know if these parts were changed for the 2021 model year or are they the same as the 2020? I could get...

2021 GR Supra 3.0 bought new in summer I was aware of the oil burning discussions and was doing regular checks. Factory oil never went below the max line during break-in. Followed break-in and to be safe I had the Toyota dealership do an early oil change around 1,200 miles. (Checked it was...
