Description of the problem | At about 80,000 miles noticed that my wife's car started using oil and a couple times the oil light had come on which scared her. I contacted toyota local dealership and they told me it was normal??? I've been a technician my whole life and told them they were nuts. Not log after we got a notice about an oil consumption tsb and took in for the test. They test it before the oil has any chance for viscosity loss which naturally is going to pass. It uses approx. 2-3 qts. Of oil in a 3,000 mile oil change which is absurd. I've owned toyota's for over 30 years but i've told them this is it no more of them. This is dangerous because this could leave this car disabled most anywhere even in the road!!! Please make toyota fix this problem which is huge as everyone i've spoken with on this model has the same problem! Is there no honor justice anymore? |
