When will you do your first oil change?

[KellyJoe]

I honestly have never cared on my cars. The only concern I have is oil consumption on new engines and how it slows (or not) as more miles are driven. Issue with the electronic dip stick is I can't tell the minute differences in oil levels as the indicator is not really precise. You only got like 'over full, full, kind of full, I guess low?' readings.

I appreciate the thought but I did know how to check the oil level.

My question was how much does it take to get it from MIN back to MAX.... I found out today when it alerted me with a message to add 1 quart. I double checked and it was on the MIN mark.... Added a quart and rechecked after a drive and it was exactly on the MAX mark..... So the answer to my original question is 1 quart... One quart to get it back to MAX from MIN....

That's at 6K very spirited miles total after a "proper" mfg prescribed break-in.

BMW and Toyota uses 0W20 oil in the B58 engine of cars sold in the US. Those cars with the B58 engine sold elsewhere use 5W30 oil.

0W20 is also the recomended oil in Sweden/Europe so not 100% correct.

I did my first oil change at 400 miles.

Normal Oil Consumption for the B-series turbo engines (B46, B58) is 1 liter per 1,500 miles.

Mine literally does it on the dot. First time at 1,350 miles. Now the light came on again at 2,850 miles.

This isn't a rotary engine, what gives? I've placed thousands of miles on my car without having to add oil in between changes.

No idea. BMW says its normal. Oil analysis came back normal. Ran a 12.1 @116 stock so engine seems healthy.

How much does the oil change run for the Supra? My car keeps telling me it’s time to service the oil so I’m about to take mine in for service at toyota soon.

Your first two should be free. I'm changing mine every 3,000 (running full e85) but wouldn't go over 5,000 for stock setup.

I did my "1200-mile break-in change" yesterday on race ramps in my garage.

Pretty easy, but the oil filter is a bit of an awkward reach - just put some shop towels under it as it'll drip when pulling out...

Used Liqui Moly Top Tec 6600 0W-20 since it's winter. Might change up to their 5W-30 in the spring.

They told me they'll only the first 2 for free if its time for an oil change. Mine went low at 1350 so I wanted to drain it to do an oil analysis. They said I had to pay smh.

The toyota dealer I went to told me that oil change (after my 2 free) for the Supra is going to be $400? That’s not right is it? My buddy drives a Vette and doesn’t even play near that for his.

No WAY an oil change should be that much.... Crack the oil cap and the filter before draining.... Just crack the oil filter housing where the seal of the O-ring is broken. Go underneath and drain oil... Once finished, reinstall drain plug with new crush washer. Go up top and replace the filter. There will be zero cleanup this way... Add oil and you're done.... I'll do it for half price if you're close. ? ?

I daily a 15' Avalon and changing the oil in that is a pain.. I would happily change the oil in a dozen Supra's before I would change the Avalon's one time.
