2017 Toyota 86

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 86.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2017 Toyota 86 is a passenger car equipped with an S6 automatic transmission and an engine requiring 5.7 quarts of 0W-20 oil, delivering an EPA-estimated 24 city and 32 highway mpg for a 27 mpg combined average. In the context of the model's 2017-2020 reliability history, this year saw only two owner complaints—specifically targeting the engine—alongside two recalls. While it narrowly misses the single-complaint low of the 2018 model, it sits far below the ten-complaint peak of 2019, making the 2017 a comparatively stable and trouble-free choice within the tracked timeframe.

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.

The 2017 Toyota 86 registers 2 complaints, 2 recalls, 0 investigations, and 101 TSBs, making it the earliest year in this federal record and the only model year in the 2017–2020 span to carry two recalls. Complaint volume stays low in 2018 before spiking to 10 in 2019, while TSBs decline steadily from 101 in 2017 to 71 by 2020 and recalls drop to one in 2018 and 2019 then zero in 2020. The two complaints cite the engine and Structure,Unknown Or Other, though the data does not specify root causes, and no crash or fire complaints were filed. Within this 2017–2020 arc, the 2017 model carries the highest recall and TSB counts, after which both metrics trend downward through 2020. Given its minimal complaint count, zero crash and fire complaints in the federal record, and addressable recalls, the 2017 Toyota 86 is a good year to buy provided outstanding recall work is completed.
