Honestly it's hard to say...it might have already affected the engine and/or the turbocharger(s), but the first priority is the compression test. If it passes the compression test (along with a driving test to ensure it still boosts well) and you end up purchasing it, then let us know ... I'll post some steps you can take to flush the old oil out.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
