| Description of the problem | My car is consuming lot of oil, for every 5000 miles oil change i noticed that there is not a single drop of oil left in the engine, i had a oil consumption test at longo toyota dealer in january, they asked me to come when the i drove the miles between 1100-1300, i took my car at 1128 miles and after the test they said everything is normal and no further test is needed, i said what are you saying i see not a single drop of oil left in the engine, they are saying in order to fail the test 1 qt of oil should be consumed for every 1200 miles but my car consume 3/4 qt of oil hence test is passed.... What the heck is going on why is it normal to consume 3/4 qt of oil, they failed to realize that there is no oil when oil change is occurred, and now the other problem is i can retake the test only after 6 months or 5k miles on the vehicle but my 10 year warranty is expiring in sept, not sure why toyota put the 10 year warranty they should cover the warranty atleast 15 years... I am sick of toyota never going to purchase any toyota vehicles, they dont stand behind their vehicles ... |
