How often should you get an oil change?

• Intervals depend on oil type and driving conditions: conventional oil commonly every 3,000–5,000 miles, full synthetic often every 5,000–7,500 miles—but turbocharged engines like the Supra may benefit from more frequent service.
• Severe driving (track days, heavy loads, frequent short trips) calls for shorter intervals to protect turbo bearings and maintain boost performance.
• Follow the vehicle’s maintenance recommendations and consult our factory-trained technicians for a tailored schedule that balances performance and cost.
• Keeping to recommended intervals prevents premature wear, saves money over time, and helps maintain warranty eligibility when serviced at a certified dealership.

What type of oil does an 1997 Toyota Supra take?

• For the 3.0L inline-6 twin-turbo engine, high-quality full synthetic oil is strongly recommended to ensure proper lubrication and thermal stability under boost.
• Common viscosities are 5W-30 or 10W-30 depending on climate and operating conditions; our technicians will select the factory-recommended grade.
• Using OEM-approved or equivalent synthetic oil helps protect turbochargers, reduces oil breakdown, and supports peak horsepower and torque.
• All warranty-covered lubrication services and related repairs must be performed at a certified dealership such as Coggin Toyota at the Avenues to maintain coverage.
