| Description of the problem | First of all: i bought 2007 camry certifed used aug. 2011; 70,000 miles (approx.) at toyota dealer. Car has been serviced only by this dealer at 5,000 miles. Oil is 5w20 (not syntehtic). 8/26/13 took car in for nys inspection & routine service (car was early for servicing, didn't want to take it 2x). I was told engine needed 2 qts. Oil; had gone only 4,000 miles since last oil change; that i would need to check oil at least every 1,000 mi; or have them start the test process; i was told this is a normal problem-toyota builds cars for epa standards. I just read toyota nation posts; i find this is not normal; toyota has issues with i4 engines; many folks have had same problem & no resolve from toyota. I too have never had to check or add oil in between regular servicing; i have owned cars for 40 yrs.; this my 1st toyota. I was always gm. I want my problem noted. Thank you. |
