Oil for supra????

[RenRed2]

Interesting article. Its obvious there are more options than the Toyota GR oil.

The 2020 owners can use it without issues. Its the 2021 people that should consider other options if their engine drinks oil like a clapped out Audi A4.

I use the exact spec oil the owners manual calls purchased from a dealer and documented. As long as its under warranty then there is zero issue with any 'issue' the motor could have. Given how in-frequent oil changes are now overall its easy. If an issue arises there wont be any debate about spec, make or application if the oil is tested by Toyota/dealer.

Sure once its out of warranty find that unique boutique oil the forums rave about and use it.

The amount of oil over think here is laughable. Read the manual and use that spec. If you cant well, a forum bro is right here to hold your hand and guide you lol

I did, there absolutely clueless, parts guy said I would be the first to buy that Supra oil!
And this dealer is one of the largest Toyota dealers in South Florida!!

From my knowledge I don't feel a difference between them for example I use Castrol EDGE 0W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil instead of the GR Supra blend that you get from dealership I go by my owner manual and it says it's okay to put in this type of oil but my opinion is they probably just wanted us to over pay for there stuff I see and feel no difference in my supra it feels great and drives great

If you think about it, it's a difference of about $5 a quart. To pay $35 more per oil change, it's really no big deal when you spend $50+ to fill up the tank once.

Infrequent oil changes? I'm at 2400 kms (1500 miles) and the computer is already demanding it's first service/oil change.

How many days has it been since the last one?

It's certainly going based on time. I bought it new last August, but could only drive it for a couple months because of where I live.

One thing I always find interesting about length of time for oil, that time starts when you purchase the vehicle according to the computer. That oil has been in the engine since from whenever it was filled up. Obviously longer than a year. So the whole “…or every 12 months…” argument never made a whole lot of sense to me. Yours sounds like it the dealer could’ve POSSIBLY set the computer when they got it since it isn’t August just yet.

It would not surprise me, they said it was the only one they had ever received and weren't expecting any more in the near future (at the time).

Wait until 5000 miles and then do the oil change

I go to BMW for the LL17 0W-20 and filter. Go to the source, they built the engine and it is cheaper for me than the Toyota dealer. $10.50 over quart and $19 for the filter.

The TEC6600 is good stuff and pretty cheap from Amazon. Meets the Toyota spec as well.

So what exactly would happen if you used just good old fashion mobil one 0w-20

Mobil 1 is low in Zinc which is a wear additive that you want in a higher RPM engine or in the event there is oil starvation (or if you lose the sump pan). I was a staunch M1 customer for years but switched to Valvoline because I like the additive package they use better. Now after reading this I'm curious what is in the super expensive supra oil Toyota sells?
