2022 Toyota GR86

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 GR86.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

The 2022 Toyota GR86, in its automatic (S6) configuration, pairs a 5.3-quart engine oil capacity with 0W-20 viscosity and posts EPA fuel economy figures of 21 city, 31 highway, and 25 combined mpg. It sets the ceiling for owner complaints within the 2022–2025 model range, logging 21 total reports concentrated in engine-related issues alongside a single recall. That figure drops sharply in subsequent years—down to just 3 by 2024—positioning this launch-year model as a high point for reported problems rather than a sustained weakness, and giving researchers a clear baseline against which the line's reliability profile has since measurably improved.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 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.

In 2022 the GR86 generated 21 consumer complaints, the highest count in the five‑year span, while still registering only a single recall and no investigations. Compared with the subsequent years, complaints dropped sharply to 11 in 2023, 3 in 2024, and remained at 3 in 2025, with recalls staying at one through 2024 and disappearing entirely in 2025. The 2022 model also saw the most Technical Service Bulletins (20) and the only fire‑related complaint among the years examined, though the data does not specify a root cause. This concentration of issues early in the generation suggests that the most problematic period has already passed, and later model years benefit from fewer reported problems. **Takeaway:** 2022 is a higher‑risk year relative to later models, so buyers would be better served by targeting a 2023 or newer GR86 if possible.
