About 1986 Toyota Supra Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Supra tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Supra tires online.

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.

  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Supra’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Supra, it's likely corrosion.

1986 Toyota Supra Oil Changes

Toyota recommends changing your 1986 Supra’s oil at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Supra may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1986 Toyota Supra motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Supra oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During an oil change, a technician will change your Supra's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Let the experts take care of your Supra’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

1986 Toyota Supra Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Supra to illuminate?  Your Toyota Supra oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Supra oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Supra exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1986 Toyota Supra

  • When should Toyota Supra spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Supra? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Supra need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

1986 Toyota Supra Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota Supra to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Supra goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Supra tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Supra combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires.

  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Supra’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
