I love my rav4. Oil change on time. But f*cking engine drinking oil like no tomorrow. I have to pour 2.5 qt every 1500 miles. Toyota knows that and covers it up.

excessive oil consumption

2011 Rav4 with 115,000 miles. Never went longer than 4k between oil changes. Recently I was making a left against traffic and the car died. Oil sensor shut it down. Was 3k between oil changes. Took it to my mechanic - it had burned 3.5 quarts between changes.

Subsequently looked at the car's manual. In 2011 Toyota was OK with burning 1.1 quarts of oil EVERY 600 MILES!!!

Toyota issues a TSB for excessive oil consumption but I'm obviously out of warranty & my car is not included in their TSB, so they won't do crap for me. I went to a dealer & followed their testing recommendations and my car failed the test. No surprise to me since I ran out of oil twice and the car literally stopped running (I don't have a sensor light for when the car is out of oil). Problem only recently started & it's obviously the same problem that exists for the TSB. I've written a letter to the Toyota CEO in Plano & waiting to see if anyone contacts me. But I'm done with Toyota.
