Scary thing about these engines is that the rings get sludged and stuck (even after Toyota's "improved" pistons/rings for 2010). So any of them with 100K+ miles have been run low on oil by the customer, meaning it's often hard to distinguish cam phaser knock from cam bearing or rod bearing slap. Plus the pistons will "wipe" the hatch marks at certain points in the cylinder bore, meaning there's no fix for the oil consumption even if you re-ring them. It's a mine field trying to "fix" these, but congrats on getting that one back to running condition!

I have a 2011 with the 2 AR FE, VVTi solenoid went out at 210k miles (hwy mostly), never knew she was excessively burning oil. Those issues are oil starvation related because of the defective piston rings those engines have. After monitoring the oil consumption, I noticed that she burns 1 qtz every 7-800 miles. All I do now is adding 1 qtz every 500 miles and I live with it, changing the oil/filter every 3k miles unlike the previous 5k miles interval. The rattling sound at start has been going since the car was new and usually quiets down (at start) after an oil change then gets louder over time until the next oil change. Still great engines, very smooth and good mpg.

Ivan i got a chuckle out of you beating that vvt solenoid out of its socket with a claw hammer and claw tool. I thought it must be out of round somehow then realized it was stuck by well done light oil which also jammed the spool valve. Then owner did the old trick of putting in new oil before taking it to the mech. That car takes 0w20 oil whereas my wife's 2004 Camry says 5w30. Both 4 cyls. Did Toyota change engine tolerances on later engines or is that change a govt bureaucrat deciding lighter oil saves fuel? At the cost of shorter lived engines. You're right about the cam phaser, $500 is an outrageous rip off. Toyota should sell them at cost since thats a weak point in those engines.

Toyota only checks base cam timing(phasers locked )under certain conditions, if memory serves me right it's after a certain drive time then after a certain idle time. I believe it's because base cam timing is not optimal idle cam timing. when my 2010 RAV4 timing chain stretched the engine would run perfect after clearing the cam/crank correlation code for a 10 mile test drive and only set the code after like the 3rd stop sign or traffic light.

And since a full synthetic oil change can cost so much 30 bucks isn't much to ask for detailed analysis. I have heard they can also analyze oil filters and sometimes those can last more miles than 1 oil change. I guess that is helpful for a person who drives a ton of miles within the 1 year lifetime of an oil filter.
