| Description of the problem | I'm a owner of 06 toyota rav4 it has 152,488 miles i have been noticing oil consumption dramatically, the dealer has told me that is low but there are no leaks, toyota says change your oil every 5,000 miles but my engine light starts to flicker at 3,000 i have stop to check my oil stick an it shows less than a quart of oil, i have switched to synthetic oil and the same things is happening. I've been speaking to several owners of rav4 and it seems that i'm not the only one with this issue it looks like this is a big issue with these rav4. |
