The Supra manual says to use this in the rear diff (G3 for non-LSD, G4 for LSD. I thought they were all LSDs in the Supra?). Is there an alternative? The relabeled stuff you get from Toyota is just the BMW bottle with a 75W-80 GL-5 sticker over the BMW G4 label. This stuff goes anywhere from...

Here is my latest report. I wasn't happy with the iron levels (especially compared to other models with this engine) and decided to up the viscosity considering how I drive the truck, my climate location and my preference with the intervals. I drive it hard, no towing or heavy payloads but...

Kind of stumped by this one. I do about 80-90% highway driving with the Taco (sometimes hard accelerations). Previous oils have been either Valvoline 0W-20 or M1 EP 0W-20. As some may know, its been unusually hot during this UOA period in FL, perhaps that's the cause? After this drain, I filled...

Short mileage, I know, but wanted to see how the engine was wearing vs the spec'd SN C5 0w-20. Previous analysis stated try another sample at 2k-3k miles. 1st sample is the factory fill, 2nd sample was with the unique 0w-20 specifically made for the Supra from Toyota.

Is this a concern? New to these engines so not sure what normal wear should be. 4800 miles.

VOA for the 2020+ Toyota GR Supra oil. Probably a small crowd that would be interested in this but wanted to share it with the rest of the community for insight. The engine in this car, for those that don't know, is the BMW B58B30C (with some collaboration with Toyota to work out things they did...

I posted this previously (will not mention car, warranty concerns ect). I'm just inquiring an unbiased oil suggestion for a B58 that is tuned (450 hp 550tq). FL climate. Didn't get a clear decision on what oil to run but wanted to give it another go. Thanks

To start, I posted this in the main oil section here: https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/foru.../oil-recommendation-2020-gr-supra#UNREAD However, since this is a BMW engine I thought I may get more specific recommendations for what oil to use here. The available for oil for both the Supra and z4...

To start off, I'm plenty familiar with Japanese and specifically Toyota engines but not too familiar with the B58 or BMW in general so I need some guidance here: 1. What kind of vehicle you have: 2020 Toyota Supra BMW B58 engine 2. What your owner's manual says -- SN C5 0w-20. Specifically...

Not too bad. I drive the Taco ~95% highway (now slow) 50+ mins each way to work. This oil was used mainly over a FL fall/winter so that may change the results come summer here. Think I should change to a 5W-30 or keep it the same? I replaced it with another around on M1 EP after this sample was...

I went to drive the IS300 today and the A/C was blowing hot air. It was working perfectly fine the previous time I drove it (which was about a month ago). I'm hoping it just needs a recharge since it was sitting for a while and working perfectly before. Anyways, I used a gauge that came with a...

Is this normal for cold starts? Seems to take a few seconds to build pressure. The oil pressure light on the dash stays on until the oil builds (reflects the pressure gauge). Sensor for the gauge is at the turbo feed on the block: Youtube link to video

Hello all. I'm currently searching for a car for my daily commute to work. I'm trying not to put so many miles on the Tacoma (leased but may either trade it in, give it back depending on penaltits or just buy it). I drive about 100 miles a day, total. The drive is approx. 99% highway (I live 1/4...

Has anyone done a VOA on this yet? I searched but couldn't find one. Thanks

Anyone ever heard of this before? Thoughts? I can't seem to find any specs on it: https://shop.precisionturbo.net/index.php/oil/motor-oil/hpl-motor-oil-quart.html

Oil: Mobil Super 5000 5W-30 Filter: OEM Toyota Filter Engine: 1GR-FE , 4.0 Liter V6 (4x4) 3,000 miles on oil 9,500 miles on motor This is my third oil change on the Tacoma with the first one being at ~1,223 miles. I have been trying to change it every 3,000 miles until I could get some...

Hello all, I just purchased a brand new 2015 Tacoma 4x4 V6 (1GR-FE). I'm sure this topic had been discussed plenty before but haven't found anything related to this engine. When would you suggest I do the first oil change? I have never owned a car from scratch before and was wondering what...

I recently did an Aristo 2JZ-GTE VVT-i engine swap in my IS300. I have been trying to search for some sort of Toyota owners manual to see what the recommended oil for an Aristo but I can't seem to find much. A little info about the engine fore those who don't know. The engine is from a...

Looking for recommendations for my w55 5-speed transmission and M86 Torsen lsd. I have a turbo installed so I do push the car from time to time. Pushing about 350hp. Requirements: Transmission: Hypoid API GL-5 75w-90 (2.7 qts) LSD: API GL-5 75w-90 (1.42 qts) Would prefer a synthetic. Currently...
