On the 2022-2025 Toyota GR86 FA24, the 2.4L FA24 boxer engine in the GR86 consumes oil more than expected, particularly when driven hard on track. Consumption of 1 quart per 2,000-3,000 miles is common. The horizontal cylinder layout and high-RPM operation contribute to oil consumption past the piston rings.
Monitor oil level closely, especially before and after track days. Use Subaru/Toyota 0W-20 synthetic oil and check every 1,000 miles. Keep oil level at full mark. Some owners use 5W-30 for track use (not recommended for daily driving under warranty). Carry a quart of oil in the trunk. If consumption exceeds 1 qt per 1,200 miles, request an oil consumption test at the dealer.

On the 2022-2025 Toyota GR86, gR86 models with the 6-speed manual develop throw-out bearing noise, typically a chirping or squealing sound when the clutch pedal is depressed or released. The bearing wears prematurely, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Not an immediate failure risk but worsens over time.
Replace throw-out bearing (clutch release bearing). This requires transmission removal so it is labor-intensive. Most shops recommend replacing the clutch disc, pressure plate, and pilot bearing at the same time (complete clutch kit). Exedy OEM replacement kit (FJK1005) or South Bend Stage 1 for modified cars.

On the 2022-2025 Toyota GR86 2.4L FA24 Flat-4, manual transmission GR86 owners widely report excessive throwout bearing noise — a chirping or squealing sound when the clutch pedal is depressed, especially in cold weather. While not immediately causing drivability issues, the bearing can wear prematurely and eventually fail, requiring clutch assembly replacement. The issue appears related to the bearing design and grease specification.
Mild chirping in cold weather is considered normal by Toyota and typically quiets as the car warms up. If noise is persistent and loud, have the throwout bearing inspected. Replacement requires transmission removal and is often done with a complete clutch kit ($800-$1,500 parts + labor). Some owners apply a small amount of high-temp bearing grease to the input shaft sleeve during clutch service to reduce recurrence.
