I bought this car as a commuter replacement for my Tundra. The toaster had 147k miles on it and was in need of the basic TLC maintenance. However, the car did burn around a quart of oil every full tank of gas or 275 miles. After several engine flushes/ oil changes later, and dumping various carbon cleaners into the gas tank (only cleaners with naptha in it is worthy), she now burns a quart every 1100-1200 miles. Plus she does run much smoother and stronger then when I first bought her. The owners manual reads, unless the vehicle is going through 1.1 quarts/600 miles of oil or less, do not be concerned. I know its normal to burn a little oil, including crankcase blow by,....and I have made an improvement since I bought her. I'm not stupid concerned about it. I just thought somebody out there may relate and have some thoughts, other than valve seals or new piston rings.👊🤙
Oil Burning issues, Anybody?
Does anyone have oil burning issues?
158k + miles now.
She burns through a quart every 11 - 1200 miles. There is no oil under the engine or under the car at all. There is no smoke or colored exhaust coming from the tail pipe. Just a little bit of oil on the ground behind the tail pipe from time to time. I can also smell it, it's subtle, yet there.
She is my daily driver and I drive about 70 miles a day. Average speed, 70+/-.
I've been using various products to clean the motor every gas fill up.
Anybody else deal with these issues?
