I have a 2009 Matrix XRS (engine 2.4L L-4 DOHC 16v) that I have owned for 3 years. The mileage is about 122,000. It is going through a quart of oil every 1000 miles or so. I have had it checked and I was told that it is a common problem with this engine. One shop advised me to keep an eye...

I bought this Sequoia used with 99,000 miles specifically for towing a 5000 lb camper. The Toyota manual specifically calls for 0w 20 synthetic oil--even going so far as saying that 5w 20 can be used if necessary but must be switched back to 0w 20 at the next oil change. At my most recent oil...

Hello everyone! I had just changed oil in my 1ZZ from Motul to LiquiMoly MOLYGEN 5W-30 formulated for various non-German vehicles (green stuff). The engine is FAR smoother and quieter. Has no issues with valve clearance or timing though. Cold start ups are also quieter. Has anybody had...

Straight to the point. My camry failed excessive engine oil test and service guy sent me a list of service to be recommended. I wonder these should be better to be when engine is out. Dealership said Short Block Engine needs to be replaced and after talking to toyota, they finally got approved...

Omg, maybe all these oil consuming issue has to do with everybody putting in the wrong type of motor oil, 5w-30 because even in mild climate here in san francisco, 5w-30 burns away at a much lower temperature than 10w30 or 10w40. Car: 1999 corolla. My engine was making some noise which I...

Hey Guys, I am about 7300 miles from my last oil change about a year ago. I was checking my dip stick the other day and while I was looking at it, I got a whiff of what definitely smelled like gasoline. I have a little over 47k miles on it, and barely drive it 10k a year, mostly city some...

Hi all, This is my first post here. I bought a 1998 corolla which was standing with some dealer for a few months. I changed the engine oil and put all the 5L of Shell Helix HX5 in it. Now searching the forum gave me the information that I need to drain extra oil. Here are my questions: (1)...
