| Description of the problem | my car started using oil at 115,000-123,000 miles. I took it in 2-3 months ago and toyota performed an oil consumption test. My car used 1. 6 quarts of oil during that time, it did not have any external leaks when they performed this test. I was told it was not under recall and this much oil consumption is normal. Using the much oil is not normal and it was not using oil before the 115,000 miles. I was told since it was not under recall that if i wanted the valve seals repaired it would be under my expense. This is not a new complaint about the 2007 camry and the internet has numerous customers having excessive oil consumption and some were worse than mine. Toyota should own up to this defect and fix it. |
