Helpful websites
- 2007-2011 Class Action For The Same Issue - There is a pending class action lawsuit against Toyota for the same issue in newer cars, it has not yet been amended to include the 2002. But I thought it was good information to share.

Been working on a car for a friend that was purchased in Texas. The car currently uses about a half quart every 100 miles. (Determined the problem the first time the car was due for an oil change and had no oil on the dip stick)
-No blue smoke or smell
-No dramatic oil drips (some small oil leaks)
-Will replace PCV just to see if it slows down the problem.
This website has some other things to try, but I'm probably just going to switch her to a heaver motor oil and make sure she checks it often. http://www.corolland.com/repairs.html
Sorry to hear about the problems with this car.
