How often should I come in for Toyota Supra differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Can my Supra malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Supra's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Supra.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Supra?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my Supra’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Supra is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
