Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA VE IN SEPTEMBER. IT HAS THE BASE 1.8L ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND ABOUT 63,000 MILES. ONE THING THE SELLER DIDN'T TELL US WAS THE CAR WAS AN OIL BURNER. NOW HERE'S THE KICKER. ON HOT OR COLD, AS IN 10 F COLD, STARTS, THERE IS NO SMOKE OR ODOR. THERE ARE NO DRIPS, PUDDLES, OR SPLASHES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR ON THE GROUND. I HAD A SERVICE GARAGE LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THE COMPRESSION WAS EQUAL ACROSS ALL FOUR CYLINDERS AND WELL WITHIN MANUFACTURER??S TOLERANCES. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER CLAIMED THE RINGS WERE BAD. THE CAR IS, HOWEVER, GOING THROUGH ABOUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 250 ?? 300 MILES. I SWITCHED TO 10W ?? 40 FROM 5W ?? 30 AND DUMPED SOME RESTORE IN THE CRANKCASE, BUT NO CHANGE. CHECKING WITH SEVERAL AUTO AND TOYOTA FORUMS INDICATES THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH COROLLAS. *NM
