| Description of the problem | The engine is burning oil like mad. I purchased it three weeks ago and there were no issues when i looked at it. I hooked my obd ii scanner and no codes popped, which made me go ahead and purchase it. I heard about the toyota 2az-fe engines having oil issues, but this is getting out of hand. My mechanic changed my oil a little over a week ago and notified me that i was a quart low, but filled it for me. He told me if i was concerned to monitor it, which i have. Tonight, february 27, 2020, i checked my oil while it's stationary in my driveway and has not been on for over four hours and it's right around the low level line. I got my oil changed at 163,035 miles. It's now low at 163,260 miles! I'm scared and concerned about driving it because being a college student and working, i would dread that my rav4's engine blows up or seizes on me out of no where. Please, this issue is scary and can place a lot of people and families in danger. I can provide paperwork of the day of the oil change and my odometer. I took a picture of it which i will attach. |
