toyota has supposedly tested my oil usage and says that 1 liter iper 1000 km is 'normal'. BULLSHIT! i continually have to add oil between normal oil changes and will be making a concerted effort to complain to toyota canada nd my dealer at every opportunity. meanwhile, i have just purchased a new mazda. that's it after twenty years of driving toyotas!!!!!!!!
