I have a question scotty. I have a 2004 altezza here in japan. I changed the oil pressure sensor since it was inop and the oil along with the filter since it was about due. I put in 10W30 because i listened to a "mechanic". Now the oil pressure sits low after car warms up but when i get up to a little over 2000rpms it shoots up to almost max. I believe i have to use 5W20 or 5W30. What do i do since i already have 10W30 in it? Do i have to do kind of flush?

Guessing those are the same piston and rings that Chevy decided to use later on their 2010-2013 SUV engines that had oil consumption problems. They must had gotten them for cheap and built the engines around them. To the 2012 Chevy Equinox owner. Check your intake solenoids (if same engine, it is about $50 each and you need 2 of them, easy job - left side of engine, near injectors). Had the same issue with my 2011 equinox a few years ago. In my case it gave me code for throttle body, so had to dig around forums for solutions and found intake solenoids do that as well.

Good. Maybe, the mechanic there did the required repair. My 07Rav4 was treated the same but only run better for 6 months. It came back to that worst consumption of oil. I assumed that they did not repair my RAV4 completely.

My ‘09 matrix had the “oil consumption test” completed at 120,000 miles. I was putting 4 qts of oil in the car every 2k miles or so. When the dealer ran the test, after 2k miles, the car magically didn’t consume oil through that period. After they declared it not an issue though, the engine went back to consuming oil and I ultimately had to sell the car before I really wanted to.

Owner of a 1NR-FE 1.33 lt engine Toyota Yaris here, same issues. Last week it got to a point where one cylinder is gone most of the time, while burning a quart of oil every 700 miles or so. I was lucky to find a spare engine with half my mileage and avoid totalling the car, for half the price of the rebuild.

Scotty, the mileage limit is 150,000. I have a 2010 Scion xB with that engine and it started burning oil at about 135,000. I didn't know about the problem but learned about it by doing a little online research. I brought it to a Toyota dealer when it had 145,000, they did the test and it burnt over a quart of oil in a 1000 miles. So, they did the right thing and rebuilt the engine. I told a neighbor about it who had the same problem, he brought his in and they said "sorry." He had 160,000 miles and they wouldn't fix it. Like you said, that's not right.

Back in the days you're referring to I had a friend with a Vega and it had the Vega "problem". Driving home from work one afternoon he heard on the radio that Chevrolet would fix any Vega so long as the mileage wasn't over 50,000. Excited he called the local Chevrolet dealership and sure enough they told him it was true. He then explained that the mileage right now in his driveway was 49999.7 and that their dealership was about a half mile away which would put the mileage about 2/10 over 50K. They insisted that the mileage be no higher than 50K to get the repair. When he weighed the cost of a flatbed haul to the dealership he decided since the car was falling apart and it had rot too that it wasn't worth it. I always thought that was kind of sad.

Your Chevy Vega remarks spot on! In addition, the cam journals in the head were one piece so to remove cam from head required a crazy expensive service tool.

Here's the deal. My old 2010 Scion xB had the same engine. They extended the warranty to 10 yr 150k miles. Mine started burning oil about a quart every 1k miles when I got to around 130k miles. I tried to get them to rebuild twice, but they said it has to be burning 2 quarts every 1k miles before they would do anything under warranty. I eventually sold it.

They did.....toyota rebuild 100’s of thousands of these engines if not millions at no cost to the owner. The campaign is no longer active.

It wasn’t a design flaw in the engine on the part of the rings wearing out. It was a design flaw of too high piston temps heating up the engine oil on the cylinder bore, on the piston shirts, and around the oil ring. The higher temp burns lower quality oil and causes carbon buildup around the oil ring preventing it from working properly. If you use a good quality full synthetic oil from new or almost new then there’s no problem. Also these engine have NO tolerance for going a bit overdue for the service. Service it every 5000 miles max with good oil and no problems.

Throw some engine restore in that bad boy!! Or up the viscosity on the oil to a 5w30 instead of the 0w20.

When I was young, my uncle, who was always buying cheap used cars, had a Corvair that burned a quart of oil every 20 miles. He liked smoking people out at stoplights. He sold it to a person who was going to drive it to CA from OK(where he lives). The engine blew up after around 50 miles.

Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..

Love your channel scotty. I've been watching it for years. I know you are a big Toyota fan. My uncle, a mechanic, was a big chevy fan as I am until he bought his first Toyota Celica back in the 80's. He loved that car and always bragged about it and since then he became a loyal Toyota fan. However, I just wanted to comment about how things have changed. I always heard Toyota's are bullet proof but it shows no manufacturer is based on how many recalls have been issued over the years. My gf had a 2008 Camry with this motor. Although it has high mileage, at that time had 170,000 (currently at 240,000), it burns 1 qt. of oil every 1000 miles. That's excessive so I researched it and found videos on KZread about this little over two years ago. Apparently Toyota sent out letters to owners (my gf is original owner). She doesn't recall receiving a letter. Based on KZread vids the letter states if the car is under 10 yrs old and less than 150,000 miles they will perform a test and if it consumes oil they will fix the problem for free. Guess what? She called Toyota and was 3 months past and about 20,000 miles over. They would not even consider helping her. I think that's b.s and they should have done the right thing. It was an engineering defect from no fault of the customer. I'm not saying the car is a piece of junk. It's not. It still runs good and even has a lot of original parts after all these years. The accessories still work. However, the right thing to do is take care of your loyal customers. Make them whole. Unfortunately, it's about money and how much is this all going to cost. Toyota should have recalled those affected models. Shame on them!!! My gf recently bought a new car (2019 Hyundai Elantra) and has a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. Hope she gets many trouble free miles out of it. Funny thing is she gave her daughter her Camry because she needed a car. So it's still in the family. Now her daughter has to maintain checking the oil level but hey she got the car for free. Not a bad deal lol.

I always get some great info from you and you are a natural comedian.

Hi Scotty from Mn Your videos are the best Stay safe

I have a 2010 Scion tC which has this dreaded oil burning issue. I took it to Toyota 2 different times. The first time they overfilled my engine on purpose so they wouldn’t have to do the repair for free. The second time, I watched them fill it up and checked the dipstick before they sealed off the engine. Lo and behold, it was about half a quart higher than normal. I had them drain it out and refill it to the correct level. After the testing the second time, they supposedly did the fix but my car still burns a quart of oil ever 900~ miles or so. I still even have photos and documentation of the event

Scotty: "I've seen it so many times, it will make your (over)head (cam) spin"...

My XB had that problem and it took several tests and visits to two different dealerships to finally get it fixed up at only the cost of the fuel surcharge for the rental. Now it runs like a dream and I love it

Hi Scotty I’m looking for a new engine for my Toyota dolphin motorhome it has a 22RE in it. I was wondering if it’s better to put in the 2.4 or the 2.2 any wise suggestions.

Scotty Kilmer You told me how crappy BMW’s are (Thank god !) and convinced me to sell it last year and buy my 2013 Lexus ES350 ! It now only has 36k miles and I’ve changed my oil with Synthetic Mobil One ! Best car I’ve over owned !! Ironically my first “new” car i ever owned was in 1986, I bought a new 1986 Toyota MR2 with 5 speed manual, i babied that car, sold it after 7 years and 73k miles... Never did anything on it except change the oil and tires... Not even a brake job ! I “engine” braked Saved my pads and rotors !! I should’ve stuck with TOYOTA going forward ! I never bought another Toyota/ Lexus until April 2019. Other then my retirement car my C7 Corvette Stingray which i plan on buying in 4 years I’ll never buy anything other than Toyota or Lexus ! Than again With my ES350 having only 36k miles I wont have a need to replace this for a VERY VERY LONG TIME !!

Retrofitting a Vega with the Iron Duke was an option, but you could still hear the car rusting on a quiet night.

Thanks, Scotty I almost bought a 2011 toyota camry with the same mentioned Engine, this was informative.

Interesting 🤔, I have a 2012 Toyota Venza 4cylinder with 115k miles and it's burning 🔥 oil 🛢. 1 qaurt below 500 miles. My question is what's the Longevity and reliability with it burning oil ??? Other than burning 🔥 oil 🛢 it's great 👍

My 2007 RAV4 with the 2.4L oil burner with over 268k miles was eating easily a quart a week. It finally broke down recently: I will probably sell it to a junk dealer even though it has an excellent automatic transmission and tires with lots of tread left on them. I would love to get the problem fixed, but I just don't like the idea of putting a lot of money into what is a losing cause. Ironically, I'm still driving my 1998 Camry with the 2.2L engine that has 329k miles: I'm probably going to finally get new strut assemblies all around since it still has the original struts. Yes, those struts have been making noises for at least the last 20-30k miles and it bottoms out on some speed bumps (which I drive gingerly over). I figure my '98 Camry will go at least another 30-40k miles until I get the timing belt changed again (last changed it at 269k miles). That 2.2L four banger still runs smoothly and gets excellent gas mileage (normally 24-26 mpg in the city and 30-32 mpg on the freeway). Thanks for the video (and I'm sure I probably got sent the TSB about the RAV4 oil burning problem and just didn't open it--my bad). All of my cars since the 1970s (except for my first one which was a Chevrolet Impala) have been Toyotas! And, yes, I want to get a new RAV4 but I'll wait until prices come back down to earth.

How many miles u have on it when it started burning oil?

Have a 110k mile 2009 RAV with the 2AR-FE motor & it burns no oil. Love the vehicle. Most reliable vehicle ever

Another engine to avoid is the 1ZZ-FE These have timing chain tensioner failures; not the chain itself The engine is found in some celicas, corollas and usually the 99-02 MR2 spyder I learned the hard way and if I would have known I would change that tensioner every 25-30k miles

The 1ZZ is generally very reliable. We’ve got one with 250k kms on it, my Aunt’s has 230k kms on it, a friends has 330-ish kms on it. (Not entirely sure, odo stops at 299999) None of em had ever had bad issues. 1 water pump, a belt tensioner and a valve cover gasket between em.

Way back in the late 70's, a friend of mine fixed the Vega engine problem by hammering out the compartment and putting a hopped up 350 in it.

My first car was an accord. I shifted to Toyota for the same reputation as honda but with a better or cooler AC. My first Toyota is Camri and up to now running good. We have Prius, the only problem we met was the headlight bulb burning. BUT WITH OUR 2007 RAV 4, it is what you said. I am checking and adding oil every other day. They took it then for that repair after testing for oil consumption. It got better but only for 6 months. it returned to the same stupid situation.I always check the sparkplugs and the third one is the one that always have to be replaced.

I have a 2018 Corolla, bought it brand-new, and it has 2 safety recalls on it, for the air bag and a fuel pump......Should of stuck with Mazda.

I hope scotty's videos help get the word out with Toyota's oil consumption problem. I sold my oil burning 2008 Camry 5 speed manual for $2300 because 2 different dealerships wouldn't honor the engine rebuild. Only had 151k miles at the time. I was adding 1 quart of oil every 600 miles. Ended up buying a 2010 camry 6 speed manual with the redesigned 2.5L engine. One of the best decisions I've made.

Hey Scotty, I think toyota fixed this through recall. But they only fixed those which engine passed their test that burned a certain amount of oil. My 2007 Rav 4 was in that category after 3 times they said it is not burning enough oil. On 4th occasion they said it is burning enough oil. Nothing changed in between. The first few times they lied saying it is okay... But when I did independent test, it burned more than their burning requirement.

I had an 05 Scion XB with 300k on the original motor and it burned a little oil but was ok with me considering how reliable it was!

Hey Scotty Big fan of your channel. Since you seem to know so much about Toyota's I wanted to know when buying a used Sienna what is the breaking point at which you have to say this has too many miles on It I don't have a lot of money to spend on one of these but I also don't want to buy a lemon that's been thrashed by a previous owner.

same as the early 2000’s Toyota Tacoma, had to replace the entire frame for free , the literally brakes in two pieces , lawsuits in the USA and in Canada

Well I believe that if the owners changed the oil every 5,000 miles with only fully synthetic oil then they’d have no issues. Granted I’ve got an 06 tC with 203,000 and have no issues yet besides a leaky valve cover gasket that’s leaking from one corner 😂

When I changed the exhaust header, I looked in at the valves, they looked in good shape, also seafoamed her, she still tickin. Oh yeah, at cold start, it idles fine, tickin starts after engine is at operating temp.
