Hi All,

 

Its time to give my new Supra a good ol service, but i have no idea about what exactly needs to be done for the full service and what oil/coolants to actually use!??!

 

Can someone please advise me on the following please:

 

1 - what exactly needs changing on a mjaor service?

2 - what oils i need to put in, inc the auto gearbox oil?

3 - whats a good coolant to use?

 

Im going to pass all this onto my mechanic friend whos quite good but not actually got experience with these cars.

 

many thanks all!

Don't bother. I had this trouble about trying to find someone mate to service my Supra and everybody literally screamed 'Chris Wilson' who's around this board. He comes highly recommended pal and I've got mine booked in this coming Monday. Don't trust anyone but an expert if you ask me for such a complicated supercar.

 

If I was you i'd hold out and speak to Chris. I'll update you on how my service goes, but I'm 99% confident Chris will do a sterling job mate.

 

Here's his details.

Id change all these if you have no previous history.

Engine Oil

Engine oil filter

Fuel filter

Autobox fluid

Air filter

Plugs

Diff oil

Brake fluid

Coolant

PAS fluid

 

And obviously the checks done on a normal service to the underside of the car.

 

Thats all i can think off really, but i mean some of the above might not need changing, depends on the service history.

Either that or you could follow the proper A/B toyota schedule for servicing, its on here somewhere so search for that if needed.:search:
