Consumer Description

ENGINE PISTON OIL CONTROL RINGS IMPROPERLY RETRIEVING OIL IN USE. THE PISTONS AREN'T PROPERLY TREATING THE OIL SO I HAVE TO REFILL NEW OIL MULTIPLE TIMES A MONTH. IT FALLS UNDER THE MODEL AND YEAR THAT TOYOTA WAS DOING RECALLS FOR THE MODEL IN QUESTION. I WONDER IF THIS ISSUE CAN STILL BE FIXED! THE PISTONS NEED TO BE REPLACED! THE ENGINE WORKS REALLY WELL OTHER THAN BURNING OIL LIKE A FRYING PAN. (OIL & ENGINE TEMPERATURES REMAIN NORMAL (TESTED) BUT THE OIL CONTINUES TO DISAPPEAR. NO LEAKS.
