| Description of the problem | I have been having regular oil changes at my local aaa shop as scheduled for my 2007 toyota rav4. When my maintenance light came on i took it in to aaa within the next few days. I was told it had only been 3000 miles since my last oil change, but that there was only 1 qt. Of oil left in the car. There were no leaks detected and they said the car was not smoking to indicate it was burning oil. Two mos. Later i took the car to my toyota dealership for an inspection sticker. I told them the car was running rough and to check it out. They replaced spark plugs and valve cover gasket. Shortly thereafter i received notice from toyota about excessive oil use for my model. I took it in for the excessive oil consumption test. During the 1000 mi test it burned another quart and a half of oil. They disregarded my complaint about burning all but 1 qt. Within 3000 mi. And said the consumption was normal. Car continues to run rough. |
