| Description of the problem | Excessive oil consumption - not safe my family is extremely loyal to the toyota brand and we have never had any major issues with an of our vehicles in the past. I noticed that my 2007 camry se 2. 4l v4 had been burning oil extremely fast a little over a year ago. At first, a mechanic told me that i needed to change my valve cover gasket as that was what he presumed to be the root cause of the issue. After i paid to get that replaced i noticed that my engine was still burning oil at an extremely fast rate. I proceeded to change my pcv valve and switch to a synthetic-blend. Nothing at all has helped with the oil consumption. It is draining my pockets and time. Multiple mechanics have confirmed that there are no oil leaks. I am so disappointed because this issue is extremely draining and unsafe. My car burns over 1 quart every thousand miles. I believe there is an issue with my engine, i've read similar complaints about this and need to get this fixed. I hope that toyota can help me with this issue. |
