Consumer Description

1. I PURCHASED A 2000 TOYOTA CELICA GT. 2. ABOUT EVERY 1500 MILES THERE'S A QUART OF OIL BURNED OFF. I'VE CHECKED MYSELF A FEW TIMES FOR ANY SIGNS OF LEAKS, AND HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, NEITHER OF US HAVE FOUND ANY SIGN AT ALL OF OIL LEAKING OUT. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON IT AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1ZZ ENGINE IN THE 2000-2002 CELICA GT AND IN SOME CASES HAS CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS. 3. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL CONSTANTLY AND ADDING OIL AS NEEDED
