$200! Did you use liquid gold?

Wow it's annoying to have TPM errors go away then pop up after 3-4 miles of driving instead of just being always on when no sensors are installed. I take it bimmergeeks is the only way to code it out still or does bimmercode/link have that ability?

We've come full circle and now Razor is the one asking "which oil?"...

It was the past Saturday, but some friends and I hit the Open Track Day at The FIRM. Car ran flawlessly for every session including one of nearly 40 minutes in temps about 85 degrees. I do love this car.

I know, but my paper thin hands can't wrench on this car. I will mess around a strip a bolt or mess up the oil filter, or something.

I'm mechanically challenged and even I can do it. Supra is one of the simplest cars you can do an oil change on. The hardest part is getting the oil filter out of the housing. You can 100% do it.

I would not say that. It's not particularly hard but most cars you only need to open the hood to pour the oil in and you change the filter from below when you drop the oil. So pull the drain and while it's draining swap out the filter and then reinstall the drain plug. Slide out from under and pop the hood, put in the oil. No knuckle dragging mechanics leaning over fenders and scratching them etc.

You ever get the
Continued driving possible Chassis error resolved?

and remember to replace the plug with one of those valved thingys from Amazon.

I'm in the same boat: hesitant to do my own oil change because I don't want to mess up.

Not messing it up IS the reason I work on my own car.

 

[PowerGetter]

jacking up car is more of a task than changing the oil lol.

For some of the more simple tasks, I'd trust myself if I had no experience working on the Supra before I trusted Toyota's "trained Supra techs". If you're really adamant about not doing your own work, and what you need done isn't warranty work, go to a euro/BMW specialized third party shop with glowing reviews online.

Heard plenty of horror stories of Toyota dealers screwing things up or failing to fix problems because they have no idea what they're doing with a car such as this.
