Consumer Description

2009 SCION XB. ALMOST EMPTY BY THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. IT TOOK A WHILE TO REALIZE AFTER YEARS OF OIL CHANGES THAT BY THE TIME IT WAS TIME FOR THE NEXT OIL CHANGE, THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST WITHOUT OIL. THIS WENT ON FOR YEARS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM A TEST. THE DEALER PERFORMED A TEST AND STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE TO USE 1 QT PER THOUSAND MILES. I THEN ASKED HIM HOW MANY QUARTS DOES THE CAR HAVE. HE ANSWERED ABOUT 5. IF THE OIL CHANGES ARE EVERY 5K MILES THEN THE ENGINE HAS NO OIL BY THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. HE STATED THAT WAS TOYOTAS RULE. I TOOK THE CAR A SECOND TIME AND THEY STATED KNOW I HAVE A LEAK THAT WASN'T THERE DURING THE FIRST TEST. I BELIEVE THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE RUNNING ON SO LITTLE OIL.
