The product description does say siuitable for turbo charged cars so is it OK for a Supra.

It's semi-synthetic, in other words a more refined mineral oil.

 

Acea Specs give away suitability, you need A3 or A5.

 

Go and get yourself a decent oil would be my advice, saving on oil is a false economy in the long run.

 

The current specifications are:

 

A1 Fuel economy petrol

A2 Standard performance level

A3 High performance and/or extended drain

A4 Reserved for future use in certain direct injection engines

A5 Combines A1 fuel economy with A3 performance

 

Cheers

Simon
