That could mean that they come standard with a turbo oil cooler which is super awesome for the longevity of this engine.I suspect the turbocharger has something to do with that.

The engine does come with an oil cooler. Confirmed per repair manual.That could mean that they come standard with a turbo oil cooler which is super awesome for the longevity of this engine.
correct, but it's a water/oil heat exchanger. in my experience, it helps get oil temps faster to optimal temp and is for mild spirited driving. I'm sure the data will show an air oil cooler will be needed for track use.The engine does come with an oil cooler. Confirmed per repair manual.
for what its worth, toyota has used pretty much the same style coolant based oil cooler/warmer (for cold starts) in mr2's in the past. even at 30+ years old, for your typical 15-20minute sessions, it's still adequate that you don't really need to upgrade unless you've increased power.Toyota has been using those liquid cooled oil coolers for decades. If it's good enough for your four cylinder camry... It's probably not going to be good enough for a track day in your GRC. 😪
my past cars have had it. it makes oil changes a breeze and zero mess. but I'm still thinking about it on the GRC...Anybody planning to throw in a Fumoto Drain Plug?
My local dealer was so ignorant when it came to sericing my GRc, I'm taking it to a private shopWell alrighty then, lol. I might just pay the dealer to do my first one. My salesman doesn't think my 2-years of free oil changes will cover a change at 1000 miles. I'll call the service department and see.
yeah probably because he's stupid like most of em out here.My salesman straight up lied to me then. Color me surprised, lol.
Good video! Does the oil say that it's GF-6A rated?just finished changing the oil. While I should have used my quickjacks, I'm a glutton for punishment and didnt want to move cars around. it was almost as easy as my STi, pan and filter are a little further back but its all do able for a 6ft 250lb guy with a single jack.
Tools:
10mm socket
14mm socket
Claw style oil filter tool and 3/8 ratchet.
Part numbers are in the video!
Yessir, API SP and ILSAC -GF-6A ratings go hand in hand, they are 2 separate wear ratings, so you can't have one without the other. The current batch Toyota 0w-20 (one in the video, with part number) carries the required SP/GA-6A certifications. After falling down the rabbit hole looks like early service specs of the GR Yaris had these motors rated for the GA-6B oil, but due to supply chain shortages they changed the specs.Good video! Does the oil say that it's GF-6A rated?
Yep, checkout the 2019 GR Yaris service specs from launch.6b is 0w16...
Picked up my car 2 weeks ago… and my vin won’t pull up on the Toyota parts site either! Any idea why… vin works with my Toyota app?My VIN doesn't even pull up on the Toyota parts center website, lol. You can't manually search parts for a GR Corolla either because it's not on there yet.
Looks like they haven't added any of the 2023 vehicles other than the bZ4X to their parts website. They'll probably add them soon.Picked up my car 2 weeks ago… and my vin won’t pull up on the Toyota parts site either! Any idea why… vin works with my Toyota app?
