| Description of the problem | At about 75000 miles my camry started burning 1+ quarts of oil between oil changes. Now at 84000 miles it is burning 1. 5+ quarts between oil changes. With this increased excessive burn rate the car must now be monitored regularly to prevent engine from running out oil and ceasing up the engine. From discussions on several websites this is a known problem which effects a lot of camrys and which toyota refuses to correct. They state a quart burned in 1200 miles is normal which is a really stupid thing to say. Toyota once again is failing to step up to owning the problem. Also, as all these engines are needlessly burning thousands of quarts of oil due to low reliability parts, we are very much creating a lot of air pollution. I wonder what the epa thinks of this? *kb |
