How much oil for 3.0 Supra?

The 3.0-liter Toyota GR Supra, powered by the BMW-sourced B58 inline-six, typically requires about 5.0 liters (roughly 5.3 quarts) of engine oil for a standard change with a new filter. Always confirm the exact figure in your owner's manual or with a dealership, as regional specifications can vary slightly.


The following guide explains the official capacity, the oil grade commonly used, and practical steps for ensuring you have the correct amount during an oil change. It reflects how the Supra’s 3.0L engine is documented in service literature and widely followed by owners and technicians alike.


Official oil capacity for the 3.0L Supra


Notes on the capacity help distinguish between regional variations and the standard practice used by service departments and owners. The figures refer to the engine oil volume with the filter installed.


Regional variations


While many markets list ~5.0 L (about 5.3 qt) as the typical capacity, some country- or year-specific service manuals may present small deviations. Always verify against your vehicle’s manual or a local dealer if your car is part of a regional or special edition run.



  • Engine oil capacity with filter: about 5.0 liters (roughly 5.3 quarts).

  • Capacity is intended for a standard oil change using a new filter.

  • Exact figure can vary by market, model year, and any aftermarket filter choices.


For practical purposes, starting with about 5.0 L and then checking the level after startup is a reliable approach. Use the dipstick or the vehicle’s electronic gauge to confirm the final level.


Oil grade and type recommended


Choosing the right oil grade matters as much as the quantity. Toyota’s guidance for the Supra’s 3.0L engine commonly points to synthetic options, with 0W-20 being a typical recommendation in many regions. Climate and local specifications can alter the exact grade, so consult your manual or a dealer if you’re in a different market.


Climate and regional considerations


In milder climates, 0W-20 is often suitable, while hotter or harsher environments might prompt a slightly different grade per manual guidance. Always use an oil that meets Toyota’s or the B58 engine’s approved specifications and viscosity range.



  • Common recommendation: 0W-20 synthetic engine oil in many markets.

  • Alternative grades may be listed depending on climate or local service bulletins (e.g., 0W-30 in some regions).

  • Use oils that meet the official specification for the B58/Toyota-BMW collaboration and the vehicle’s warranty requirements.


Bottom line: follow the exact specification in your owner's manual and choose a reputable synthetic oil that satisfies the required standards. The correct grade helps protect the engine and maintain performance over time.


Practical steps for checking and topping oil


After changing the oil, confirming the level ensures you avoid under- or overfilling. The car’s dipstick and/or electronic oil level gauge provide the final check, but a careful process helps you get it right on the first try.


Step-by-step checklist



  • Step 1: After replacing the filter, pour in roughly the standard capacity of oil—about 5.0 L for a typical Supra 3.0L change.

  • Step 2: Start the engine and run it for about 60 seconds, then turn it off and let the oil settle for a few minutes.

  • Step 3: Check the level with the dipstick (or the vehicle’s electronic gauge) on a level surface and top up in small increments until you reach the full mark.


By following these steps, you minimize the risk of underfilling or overfilling and help ensure optimal engine lubrication.


Summary


The Toyota GR Supra 3.0, powered by the B58 engine, generally requires about 5.0 liters (around 5.3 quarts) of engine oil for a standard change with a new filter. Always verify the exact capacity and oil grade in your owner’s manual, as regional specifications can vary. Use the recommended synthetic oil grade (commonly 0W-20 in many markets) and confirm the final level with the dipstick or the car’s electronic gauge after the change. When in doubt, contact a Toyota dealer or qualified technician for the precise guidance for your vehicle year and market.
