1993 Toyota Supra

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1993 Supra.

Transmission Automatic 4-spd

The 1993 Toyota Supra comes equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission and requires five quarts of 10W-30 or 5W-30 API-rated oil, delivering EPA-rated fuel economy of 16 city, 22 highway, and 18 combined miles per gallon. In the broader complaint history spanning 1990 through 2025, this model year recorded just three owner complaints — all centered on steering — with zero recalls, placing it well below the peak of 20 complaints seen in 2021 and only slightly above the series low of one complaint in 1995. That low complaint volume and absence of recalls suggest the 1993 Supra occupies a notably reliable position within the model's three-decade history.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 1993 Toyota Supra recorded 3 complaints, 0 recalls, and 0 investigations, with 24 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). This volume of complaints is lower than those seen in 1990 (4) and 1991 (6), and significantly lower than the 10 complaints reported for 1994. Across the early 1990s, this generation maintained a stable TSB count between 22 and 24 and a total absence of recalls and investigations. For the 1993 model, complaints were limited to steering, suspension, and air bags, including one crash complaint, though the data does not specify the root causes. Because it sits at a low point in the complaint trend for its era and has no recorded recalls, this is a good year to buy.
