@@Felix-h5n Great question! Toyota recommends 30k for both manual transmission and differential oil change. CounterSpace Garage suggested for track use, suggests between 2-5 track events the oil breaks down and doesn’t protect as much. I won’t go to the track consistently until next year, but I will plan on upgrading the fluid later this fall when I change the engine oil/filter again for track prep.

@@shift__robinson I have BRZ tS - with only 1000 miles - tomorrow I'm changing both trans & dif oil - using Motul Gear 75W90 100% synthetic (as you know during the first 500-1000 miles there's the most metal in oil)... and certainly, changing the engine oil as well.

@@Felix-h5n Very cool and congratulations on the Ts! It definitely wouldn’t hurt doing Motul now. That’s my oil of choice as well for the drivetrain. How do you like owning it so far?

@@shift__robinson A+++ 🙂 You?

@@Felix-h5n Same here! I keep falling for the car more each time I drive it! Are you going to track yours too?

@@ANTlJENOVA Great point! I didn’t only because I’m still just street driving it and also for the sake of not doing it twice, I do plan on baffling it before I begin my track journey. I saw that Versus Engineering has a version 3 prototype large capacity oil pan that is being tested now and I’m hoping to get it once available. Then I’ll do everything at once :) If it gives you peace of mind, I would do it. For me, it isn’t too much of a worry at this moment.

@@Itz_AndrewW Aye, I’m glad you liked it🙏🏽 I appreciate it!

@@Gas45678 You’re 💯 % correct, it isn’t a solution. The over fill and viscosity changes were really focused towards the daily spirited drivers to help mitigate oil thinning out under harsher conditions and/or causing too much of an oil drop in the back roads if even those levels of speed even are reached, and quite possibly one track day from the HPDE voucher from Toyota upon purchase. Also yes, overfilling too much can cause additional issues under certain circumstances, however the extra .5-7 added for the daily driver wouldn’t, nor has there been any reports to cause the extra you’ve mentioned above. If we’re talking about the car going to track setting consistently, under those extreme circumstances there are numerous other steps necessary to help mitigate the pressure drops including the baffling you mentioned. I’m planning to share (a brief version) all the collective data I’ve seen reported from those on their own or from GR Cup. Thanks for chiming in 👍🏽

At the end of the day, it would be really hard to find a “bad” oil that wouldn’t meet today’s standards. Those are all great choices, and also more easily accessible. There has been data comparison from oil tests out there showing Amsoil outperforming (not by much) in numerous areas. Change your oil on time and you’ll be fine :)

@@jaron95 That’s a good procedure, that works well 👍🏽 Oh no, I didn’t show that part. It was already primed and checked haha

@@shift__robinson Ahh haha of course, look who I'm talkin to 😁🤝

@@AlanAnt Ahh that makes sense. Thank you for sharing that! It’s one detail I couldn’t figure out and since I don’t like to use the driver assist features, I didn’t dig further. Happy to save you time 👍🏽 Congratulations on the Ts! We basically have sister cars! Cool collection. How do you like the BRZ compared to the WRX GT?

@@shift__robinson I like them both, but the GT wasn’t scratching the sports car in the mountains zoom. The BRZ is my toy.

@@AlanAnt Very cool. Each had its own purpose and it sounds like you are scratching the sports car itch well 🙂

@@avilescarlos411 Considering today’s new car market, the claim isn’t that it’s a fast car. It’s a drivers car that’s meant to be fun in the turns. People that are drivers, will want to purchase this car. So your claim is invalid as it is a biased opinion. What are you comparing it to that makes it underwhelming to you?

@@shift__robinsonthey’re full of shit. I have a 718 gts 4.0 as well as a gr86 and the 86 does not feel slow to me. You’re still faster than the majority of street traffic (if you know how to shift) which is all you need.

@@ak740_ Thank you for the validation! Porsche’s are respectfully top in their class. For the 86 to scratch the realm of a Cayman is impressive in my book. I wish to own a Porsche someday so it’s something to look forward to 🤙🏽

@@CarsOverPeople I did! Picked it up in April 🙂 I would recommend searching for a dealership that 1. Sells at MSRP, and 2. Has a wait list or deposit you can put a reservation on. The Hakone would be a great special edition to have 🫡

@@Bodangers I think I seen your posts on FB and IG :)

@@rkagcopra4021 Thank you!

Yeah, I am pleased with the results. I’m sure that supercharger made it fun to drive. Do you still own it? Its definitely a great drivers car for the value :)

@@Cats_Are_Scary I appreciate it 🙏🏽 Thank you! Plenty of fun to drive!

@@Nu11S3t Great question! From what I can tell the throttle does respond well to your inputs. I’ve driven some other newer cars that have terrible response or give 80% with 20% input, etc. Congrats on that. I think you’ll really enjoy it 🙂

@@awepossum1059 I realized that after I disconnected it 😅 However, at least the t indicator works like it should. I’ll add a little sound because when I plan to go to the track, I wouldn’t hear much through a helmet unfortunately.

@@jaron95 Aye 🥳👏🏽 Congratulations! We basically do have twin sister cars! How do you like it so far? Yessir, same user name as here.

@@shift__robinson Awesome, I'm loving it. Taking every excuse I can get to go drive it. Hope to see you out there some time!

@@jaron95 Happy to hear that! This is my first new car purchase so this experience has been very enjoyable 🙂 Definitely! Are you in the SoCal area?

@@shift__robinson Yeah, OC area here.

@@jaron95 Yeah, you’re close. Are you on IG?

@@ASHEHADEH2 Thank you Amjad!

@@stevef3521 Amsoil’s oil filter.

@@shift__robinsonany reason you chose Amsoil over running the made in Japan Subaru or Toyota filter? That’s an awesome car!

@@stevef3521 Great question! Mainly to match products, oil and filter. They work best with each other for what its advertised to do. Overall, it allows more flow without compromising too much filtration. Although, the best filtration will always be oem. Thank you! 🙏🏽 Do you have a GR yourself?

@@SolidMGSnake Ahh yes, must be very flat where you are. There are plenty of drifters and highway demons out there. Some people use the turnouts, which is nice. Many others may not care or are oblivious to traffic piling up behind them 🥲

@@samserious1337 You can very much go to the track, and plenty do. Just like any car, there are some steps to take to prep it to run it safely. There’s plenty of information proving it to be a solid platform.

Nice meme

@@jaron95 Haha yup!

​@@shift__robinson There is plenty of information that you should NOT go on a race track with this car, you only can mitigate the oil pressure drop problem by short shifting, 0.5-1.0L oil overfill, oil pan baffle and/or installing an accumulator.

@@samserious1337 Then don't buy one and quit clicking on these videos. Bro's obviously very knowledgeable about his purchase and you're just here to troll. 🥱

@@miguelm3676 Aye 🙌🏽 How do you like it so far?

@@curtfox91 Ahh, I see! I’ve been saying it wrong for decades 🥲

@@ericdebroux9685 🫣 I heard the Europe will not be getting these. That sounds unreasonable!! Do you know why that is?

@@shift__robinson because Europe is banning everything emitting more CO2 than raw chicken. Also, to justify the huge investments into all-electric mobility.

@@ericdebroux9685 😒wow😮‍💨That's a dissapointing. The EV train has arrived full force over there, more so than in the states. Its a shame because vehicles are not even 1% of what pollutes this planet. "Raw chicken" 🤣

@@iManual6peed Thank you, I appreciate it! 🙏🏽 Glad you liked it!

Great question! I've had that sitting on my mind for a bit. I think now that you mentioned it, I should do it sooner rather than later. I actually have a different break in approach that people might find enlightening.

The most technically optimal way to breakin an engine is to rev it at every different point of the rpm range so that the engine components are exposed to different pressures. You can find manufacturers and engineers talk about this. This is what i've done for all my cars beit new or 28 years old with a new engine. It's the best way imo and you can safely beat on an engine at the track even when you don't use it for 6 months.

@@patrickarceo6015 I 💯% agree with your above statement 🫡

Correct. Do it progressively. Do 3500 for 300 miles, 4500 for 300 miles, then slowly push over 5000+

@@ericdebroux9685 There’s a lot more to it than just that.

💯!

Nah, just rear mount the turbo

@@Derkenblosh2 That’s a possibility 👍🏽

That's why you supercharge it and it won't throw nothing off.

Nah, mass transfer will fix this as soon as it moves. Braking might be a little trickier though.

It has some Toyota essence, I get that. I was referring to the drivetrain which is 100% Subaru :)

@@shift__robinson Engine is Subaru, Transmission is 100% Toyota

@@Felix-h5n Ahh yes, thank you for the correction. Its the TL70, same as the first gen?

@@shift__robinson I just got my BRZ tS (basically the same car as Trueno) - in Canada it's $7K cheaper (why???) and I got it in two (2) months 🙂 No doubt, we have great, GREAT cars.

@@Felix-h5n Congratulations! 🎉 My buddy is trying to decide between that and the Miata ND3. I'm hoping he leans towards the Ts for selfish reasons lol. Wow, 7k is a HUGE difference for essentially the sister twin. I got luck paying MSRP, but waited 2 years for it. Yes indeed 🙌 What color is your Ts?

Oh man, thank you for the support! 🙌 I hope it was helpful. Dude, that color Trueno looks great photos. I haven't seen it in person yet. I wish I had that option haha.
