Since 2017 we've taken my wife's 2014 IS250 to the Lexus dealer for an oil change every 10k miles and no issues (bought the car used). When I bought my Supra in June 2022 The Toyota service manager said 10k miles is what the manual said but he recommended doing the first at 5k then 10k then every 10k after that.
The V6 in the IS250 is an underpowered V6. Its the same engine thats in my Grandma’s Camry. I would expect a low horsepower non-turbo engine to go 10K miles between oil changes easily.

All turbo cars will burn oil including our Supras. I wouldn’t risk my car being down 1.4 quarts every 10K miles just to save a few dollars on oil.

Some German springs called Vogtland Springs, J29 Supra/G29 Z4 1.2F/1.2R springs. It took like a month to get here from Germany
I'm considering H&R but want to go bigger on tire but also give it a aggressive look. Just not show slammed or anything I think it looks weird. Have you tried other springs?

Nope I only wanted a 1.2 to 1.4f/1.2-1.4r spring so it was between this one, US Eibach and the Super Downs for me. H&R has a weird drop to my eyes. The only one that was in stock was Vogtland at the time.

love my h&r springs. Best look without being on the floor and rubbing.

The Supra gets changed at 1yr intervals using Amsoil unless I go to a bunch of track days in which case it gets changed a bit more. Again oil tested with tons of life left even after track days.
Same, Amsoil signature and i get a UOA every time, never once has one come back stating its been bad, even on E85 with previous cars e50 with this one. I doubt id do the 25k like the bottle says, but no problem with 10k... All that said our daily does get changed with signature also and we changed it at 22k and it was perfectly fine also from blackstone and oil analyzers inc. both say the same thing. no issues with the oil can run 3-5k more miles and test again. i changed it but its fine..

The age old every 3k is done. just wasting money at that point. UNLESS you track/race the car... People that think they beat on their car because they do a couple pulls every time they go out isnt beating on them.

Ill change my Supra oil at 10k and my DD at 20-25k. never had a issue yet since switching to amsoil.

To each their own.

$60 every 6 months for an oil change on a boosted sports car is nothing these days.

People out here spending $60 for a single Door Dash delivery but refuse to change their oil. 💀🤣

i Don’t do 10k miles in a year much less 6 months. The daily does, but my cars don’t. I work from home, they are weekend toys. I put 11k miles on my last car in 3 years. It’s not because I can’t afford it.. it’s that it doesn’t need it. It’s still protecting just fine.. if you wanna change every 3k miles or 5k miles go ahead, no one is stopping you guys, it’s always funny though how people that do that know better then the manufacturers of the oils or the labs doing the tests.

I've spent the last ten years with Toyota, and I can tell you that I've seen more 0W-20 filled 200,000+ mile RAV4s & Prius' than you can shake a stick at. Almost all of these are 10,000 mile interval customers, and the engines are tight and healthy as can be. For a regular, daily driven vehicle, the 10k interval is more than adequate.

For a daily driven B58, the 10K interval is totally safe as well. If tracked, modified or hard-driven MKV, maybe change at 7,500 or as low as 5,000. It's your funeral either way.

Every 10 passes, or about 2 days at the track. It's a real cheap way to keep it running. Cars gonna be on the lift anyway, so why not do it. Takes 10 minutes.

My car has ~10k miles on it, and probably 20 oil changes. Necessary, no. But show me a reasonable drag team doesn't change oil as necessary. Oil is cheap, ripping apart the block so me and the mad scientist can rip out the piston rings i fried is more expensive.

Agreed. I change my oil every 3 or so track days. Actual track days with corners and such, which puts wayyyyyyyyyy more heat through the car for longer. Not a dig on drag racing, just factual reality.

So I've done 17 days so far with the car so I have changed the oil about 5 times with just about 7,000 miles on the car.

I really don't dig on corner turny racing either. It's just fun to poke at each other. I just want everyone to have fun.

Good advice from the Master Parts Specialist. I could see a granny driven 2-port going 10K without issues.

The 6-port bois better think twice about this interval. Or at the very least be checking your oil level through an OBD app.

You don’t need to wait until the iDrive says you’re down 1.5 quarts to add more oil. I add 1/2 quart when level hits 84mm.

I want that top end to be at max lubrication always.
