| Description of the problem | Massive consumption of oil. My 2007 toyota rav4 consumes approximately a quart of oil in 500 miles. This is very excessive and means that i have to fill the oil 10 times before the "5000 mile" oil change. Toyota did issue a tsb and ran the car through a test and deemed the loss of oil acceptable which i find ludicrous. Acceptable is being down 1/4 a quart after 5000 miles. But if i waited til my oil change the engine would be destroyed. And the very least they need to issue a recall and fix the problem. |
