Servicing the GT4 Options

[3SGTE]

Im planing on servicing the car every 6000 miles, so its now due for an oil change... Fully synthetic oil etc... As im not an experienced gt4 owner,
What else needs changed when i do this??
Does the oil filter need changed etc??

Thanks guys

yeah, oil and filter ever 2500-3000 miles.

Lol... if you want to waste your time and money! With a good filter (Toyota, Purolator, etc.) and good oil, I have not seen any reason to change more often than 5k miles or so. If you race regularly or otherwise treat your car harshly (offroad, very short trips, etc.) then sooner would be a good idea.

The stock turbo is water cooled and doesn't coke the oil like oil cooled turbos...

I'd be happy to see evidence otherwise, but 90k+ miles on a similar turbo motor (my WRX) says 5k-7k between oil changes has no ill effects (no oil burning, perfect compression, turbo still good, etc.).

Every 3000 miles is a little extreme unless your using cheap crap oil, if you buy good quality synthetic oil then every 5-6000 miles is a good guide to go by..otherwise like mentioned your gonna be throwing away your money.
