Highlander Limited 3.5L

we too have a 2002 highlander and it was using excessive oil,gateway Toyota tore the engine apart (our expense) and found the rings were shot. car has only 60,800 miles on it and the oil was changed regularly, Toyota would not cover repairs at a cost of over $3900.

Highlander V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,273 miles

Toyota tells me that the use of oil on my 2002 Toyota Highlander is normal. This does not make sense to me. The oil usage has been getting worse -3.3 liters and engine oil light came on last oil change. At only 97, 000 kilometers and regular dealer service I feel they should repair it. I am waiting a response from the dealer but they have brushed me off in the past. I am not sure that I should keep it. I am not paying $5000 for an engine job.
