I recently acquired a muscle car from my brother and assumed that since he had been using it, everything was fine. When you mentioned that the camry always runs low on oil, I was forced to check it out, lo and behold, the oil level was very well below the low indication point on the needle. I'll be taking it for servicing tomorrow being Monday. Thanks for saving my engine from knocking.
@234drive2 жыл бұрын
Haha, you are welcome bro. What you can do is, after servicing the car you keep about 4 litres of oil in your trunk and be topping it every 3 weeks.

I leave in the USA, my friend has one, he never complained whether the engine burns oil or not. So suggestions would be (1) try and study your car very well by servicing with different quality oil and see which one is best suited for the car. It's very possible that the engine selects oil Better still, anytime you want to do oil change, make sure you include oil treatment if you're in Nigeria.

Many Camry users hardly check their oil level often, especially Toyota users, until when they begin to see signs of damage, then they’ll say a car is problematic.

The engine is good but I wouldn’t say run forever. The 2007-2009 models seem to consume oil at a point. I think it has to do with the ring as it’s a factory problem. But from 2010-2011 which shares the same engine with the Venza. Now that year’s engine is bullet proof.

Actually the sport models have a better dashboard that doesn't melt like the others, the four cylinder engine 2.4 that was carried over from the 02-06 camry is not bulletproof at all but from late 2009 manufacture up the Camry was equipped with a 2.5 four that is great. The SE V6 from 2007 to the end of production is the most enjoyable with its solid suspension set up and sharp movement but has a problematic 22pin 6 speed gearbox that fails frequently. Overall it is a good car, quite spacious and utilitarian.

For me the 2GR-Fe engine v6 is like the most reliable of well maintained, because toyota carried that engine to newer cars like 2010-2015 rx350. If u can pay attention and change faulty parts on time the u’ll enjoy the car. Toyota called back 2007-2009 to fix some general issues in the abroad so u may be lucky to buy a Toks that is problem free.

Must toyota cars burns oil, not only camry. I leave in the USA, and i own a 2012 corolla. Before the next service date, i observed that my oil used to go down.

There’s nothing sporty about the Toyota xv60(Camry). The dashboard material melts only if you use any kind aerosol on it. It’s noisy on the inside while driving. It’s just a bloated midsize sedan with a luxury exterior. Body heavy for the 4cyl engine which kills the tranny and overwork the motor. 3.5l 6cyl engine is good but don’t try to play sports with it, the chassis can’t bear stress. Seems cheap to maintain with low quality aftermarket spare parts, OEM parts will syphon your savings.

The 2.5ltr straight four variants are a lot easier to work on as they’ve got more space in the engine bay. The V6s however have a north south configuration which was a bit of work to replace those gaskets and ECU sensors. Otherwise, was a joy to drive!! Go for the 4 cyl model.
