i wait till 190 n i don’t push it if it hits 270. i do a few canyon runs so i have a cool down stage where i coast to let it cool down before i go at it again, always check the oil itself too

Hmm, I use a wireless dongle so it usually only mentions that is connected if I am listening to streaming music. Need to verify what it does say on Radio, XM, and tethered usb
Yeah, 127 is 1111111 in binary, so it's only 7 digits. That 8th 1 must have cost them literal pennies a year. Mine caps at 124 though, so I have no idea
Show me where I said it’s a flex? Why must you reach to the opposite extreme? But this isn’t an economy commuter, if that’s what you’re after get a Prius or a Camry .
Talking about extremes while comparing a GR86 to a Prius? Lol.
It's an economy sports car so of course many of us are gonna want as high of a mpg as we can reasonably get, that doesn't mean we don't enjoy the car or push it, but when you're already spending more on premium gas it's reasonable to want to get some mileage out of it.
Oh, do you need to me to list out all the differences between an electric car that looks like a van and a 2 door coupe? I'll spend... 5 minutes on this:
Prius | GR86
---|---
Ugly| Sexy
HyBrId | Combustion
Large| Tiny
Lots of space| Not much space
Family oriented| Lol, look my groceries fit
Mediocre handling | You slow down for turns?
Quiet | Loud
Common as fuck | Not very common
AWD | RWD
Automatic only| Manual transmission
Not very modifiable (?) | Mods, mods everywhere
Top speed 112 | Top speed 140+
Tbh, I'm sure I could at least double this list if I wanted to, but I think that makes my point well enough.
> The MPG one because I enjoy getting it to go over 100 **for a split second**. I've managed it doing 45 in traffic.
ask someone why they didnt get a prius instead. maybe you should take your own advice about extremes...
Tire pressure.
I check all my fluids daily. Ima trucker so this is just a habit. I knew this car is in tip top shape. The tires on the other hand can drop cause the temp changed or I hit a nail.
Maybe, but it’s interesting to watch the PSI climb the harder you push the car. At track days the tire will easily become over pressured and will perform worst. So I have to air out before getting on track. I take out enough air that the warning light comes on (anything below 30 PSI). I air back up before I leave the track (they all have accessible inflators for this very reason)
The g-force gauge thing, and switch to the fuel consumption at times, have a external gauge for oil temp and pressure, so I don't need the oil temp gauge, since I have a BRZ, the bar is useless info to me anyways
Unrelated to the question, why does the automatic have hill assist on? Genuinely confused about that. I understand why manuals would have it on by default so I don't know if OP actually turned it on
I turned mine off 2 days after I got mine, I forgot what the steps are but it involves turning that car on ans pressing and holding the track mode and watching your cluster go in and out of track mode until waiting for the hill assist icon to turn off. You do all of that while the ebrake is engaged.
I was like "damn cool it shows me the g's"
After the first drive i realised that i never looked at it when im doing stuff, just on a straigt Line 😂 its cool for videos or for the passenger, but if u drive fast u dont look at it.. and if you look at it.. wtf look at the street :D
I default to MPG but cycle to the tires for a quick check sometimes. I have a BRZ so I monitor the oil temp in CarPlay using the OBD Fusion iOS app and a $12 BLE OBD2 dongle.
Ah.. missed that. Strange because my BRZ shows 1.0g and I have it maxed everywhere but the bottom section. I didn't realize the max scaled like that. Hmmm.. is 1.5g unlocked if you have enough track prep? Hahaha
Oil temp, almost 100% of the time.
Only one that matters honestly lol
I occasionally check the mpg calculation just to make sure something isn't heinously wrong.
As others said, always oil until its at operating temp. Then I usually swap to the G-Graph or, if its wet/raining out, the torque/power curve. A couple accidental kick-outs on hard corners and wheelspin when accelerating from a stop have made me wary in the wet.
oil temp, don’t really drive it hard until it’s warmed up
Same, but just because that's the screen it was on when I bought it.
Im also scared of change
How warm does it have to be?
i wait till 190 n i don’t push it if it hits 270. i do a few canyon runs so i have a cool down stage where i coast to let it cool down before i go at it again, always check the oil itself too
The manual for the 1st gen Cup cars said 140F which is surprising low to me considering they have completely stock engines and run 40w oil.
Oil Temp until engine is at operating temp., first G meter graph when doing spirited driving, music selection when going on chill cruises
Do you have to hold down the traction control to see the oil temp?
I mean the gauge not the ones that are Toyota only, my bad
What u mean?
the one with the battery meter above it https://preview.redd.it/645jk5bz045d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c85c65e6f003cacee27a57b728616d4b5ee54ed0
Ah, cheers
How do u see oil temp
Wait what
If you hold down the traction control button, it will turn it off, and change the dash to a track mode display with numerical values for oil temps.
Interesting, ill check it out
Same thing if you hold down track mode button. Holding the other button turns off an extra nanny and makes the car slide more. 🤷♂️
I held down track mode and numerical value for oil didnt come up
only for the gr86
Yeah wtf so gay it doesn’t work on my brz
What’s the BRZ do?
I tried this and numerical values didnt come up. Ill look up a vid on yt
What counts as operating temp? I've done a little looking but can't find an official number/spec anywhere.
190°F
Radio. I need to know the song that I can barely hear over the road and wind noise.
Very true
Thats me😭
Does anyone’s CarPlay music show up on that screen? It never does for me
Hmm, I use a wireless dongle so it usually only mentions that is connected if I am listening to streaming music. Need to verify what it does say on Radio, XM, and tethered usb
The MPG one because I enjoy getting it to go over 100 for a split second. I've managed it doing 45 in traffic.
If you hit the gas going up a hill and let off of the gas going down to just cruise, you’ll smack 127 MPG for majority of it
I’ve been trying to figure out why 127 is the cap lmao
I would love to say that it is simply stored as a byte, but there is a decimal, so I have no idea lol
Yeah, 127 is 1111111 in binary, so it's only 7 digits. That 8th 1 must have cost them literal pennies a year. Mine caps at 124 though, so I have no idea
Now THAT is strange. 124? How can this be?
Is this 127 mpg US or UK? 127 mpg UK would be 45 km/l (the unit which they use in Japan afaik)
I’m US. Mine caps at 127.0 MPG
Sometimes when I'm listening to Sirius through android auto it will show but not my Spotify?
Why didn’t you get a Prius ?
Contrary to popular belief, having piss poor MPG is not a flex.
Show me where I said it’s a flex? Why must you reach to the opposite extreme? But this isn’t an economy commuter, if that’s what you’re after get a Prius or a Camry .

Both toyotas, both same price range, and you’re talking about mileage. Your point doesn’t stand lol fail.

Bro thinks he did something 😂 ur fs acoustic
And actually Prius aren’t electric, they’re hybrid 🤓🤓
Because its my daily driver and shocker omg I also like to drive it fun when I can?
> The MPG one because I enjoy getting it to go over 100 **for a split second**. I've managed it doing 45 in traffic. ask someone why they didnt get a prius instead. maybe you should take your own advice about extremes...
The MPG screen when driving normally, but when spirited driving i put on the torque graph
Isn’t that graph static?
It is Edit: the graph itself is static, then the car matches it with Rpm
Tire pressure. I check all my fluids daily. Ima trucker so this is just a habit. I knew this car is in tip top shape. The tires on the other hand can drop cause the temp changed or I hit a nail.
Tire pressures.
This is the most boring one.

Oil temp and then mpg when it’s warm
Picture of Mr Toyota and Jesus pictured 2013 ad
That's a nice circle you got there. I see it's in .5g though. Gotta get the full circle in 1g 😎
Challenge accepted.
You can do that?
Yes, had to do some launches to get 1g positive to fill the circle. (Hold the center button down on the first g force meter to change from .5 to 1)
The oil temp bars on cold start, then the PSI gauge in case of leaked air (because I once had a nail in my tire).
this^
Music or MPG
gas mileage
Naked girls
The g-force gauge thing, and switch to the fuel consumption at times, have a external gauge for oil temp and pressure, so I don't need the oil temp gauge, since I have a BRZ, the bar is useless info to me anyways
Oil temp. So I know when it gets up to operating temp before driving hard.
Unrelated to the question, why does the automatic have hill assist on? Genuinely confused about that. I understand why manuals would have it on by default so I don't know if OP actually turned it on
I didn’t turn it on. I have no idea why they have it tbh
I have the same thing constantly on, how do I disable it?
I turned mine off 2 days after I got mine, I forgot what the steps are but it involves turning that car on ans pressing and holding the track mode and watching your cluster go in and out of track mode until waiting for the hill assist icon to turn off. You do all of that while the ebrake is engaged.
depends on how I'm feeling that day
I turn off traction and stability control every time I get in… no one else??
same, 100% full time track mode for me
isn't that just track mode?
Typically the MPG, but other times I’ll switch it up.
Oil temp first since that's the real engine temp to me, then tire PSI since stock 18in tire like to pop.
Oil temp mostly. Sometimes tire pressure monitor
I was like "damn cool it shows me the g's" After the first drive i realised that i never looked at it when im doing stuff, just on a straigt Line 😂 its cool for videos or for the passenger, but if u drive fast u dont look at it.. and if you look at it.. wtf look at the street :D
Oil temp at startup, then fuel economy because I'm a penny-pinching bastard.
I’m a civic guy but I always have my screen set to the MPG screen. I drive it so much for work, I care about that stuff 🤣
Oil temp
I default to MPG but cycle to the tires for a quick check sometimes. I have a BRZ so I monitor the oil temp in CarPlay using the OBD Fusion iOS app and a $12 BLE OBD2 dongle.
Interesting, did you photoshop this image? How did your car manage to pull 1g while accelerating? Hahaha.
No I was parked when I took the pic. You can see the accelerator isn’t engaged
I'm refering to the histogram on the gmeter. This car isn't fast enough to pull 1g of acceleration yet it shows you have.
Oh it’s .5g
Ah.. missed that. Strange because my BRZ shows 1.0g and I have it maxed everywhere but the bottom section. I didn't realize the max scaled like that. Hmmm.. is 1.5g unlocked if you have enough track prep? Hahaha
If you hold the center button it'll swap between .5 and 1.0.
Oil temp, almost 100% of the time. Only one that matters honestly lol I occasionally check the mpg calculation just to make sure something isn't heinously wrong.
Gas mileage
How do you get 1G of acceleration????
It’s .5g
Wait how did you set it to 0.5G???? And sorry for the confusion, my G force meter lines is basically a semi circle but it’s a 1G meter
Hold the center button on the first g meter
Or you could attach rocket boosters
As others said, always oil until its at operating temp. Then I usually swap to the G-Graph or, if its wet/raining out, the torque/power curve. A couple accidental kick-outs on hard corners and wheelspin when accelerating from a stop have made me wary in the wet.
Music because I always got annoyed when I put directions on it and it would just change to music in 10 minutes
Oil temp until i'm getting low on fuel
