What happens when you "ride" your Toyota's brakes?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Toyota tow?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Supra’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Supra is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

How often does my Supra transmission fluid need to be checked?

Maintaining your Toyota Supra transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.

Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Toyota Supra?
