Servicing the GT4 Options

[3SGTE]

Im planing on servicing the car every 6000 miles, so its now due for an oil change... Fully synthetic oil etc... As im not an experienced gt4 owner,
What else needs changed when i do this??
Does the oil filter need changed etc??

Thanks guys

What oil should you use?? Phoned Toyota and they said they would change the oil and filter for £40/$80. When i asked what oil it was they said semi-synthetic.. I thought you had to use Fully-synthetic. i got 5w/40 in right now

You don't "have to" use full synthetic.
But dino oil will go bad faster than full synthetic.
I only use full synthetic in my car.

Oh right, cos they reccomended 10w/50 i think.... its cheaper for me to get them to do it... ill give it a shot in the future when i get my garage built!!

Your manual states 5w30 or 10w30 for most normal driving conditions (not too hot, not too cold weather). Heck, check the oil filler cap - it should also have 5w30 written on it. Unless you drive on a racetrack, you will be hurting power and gas mileage by going with an oil that is any thicker.
