Scotty, I bought a 2008 Toyota Rav4 with 140,000 miles on it for a lot more money than i should have. It’s burning a quart every 600 miles. Toyota wont cover it. The stupid extended warranty i bought wont cover it. My only recourse is to try the dealer and threaten to sue. I bought this suv for $10,000 because of Toyota and the Rav4’s reputation. I am so lost. Just bought this car in August.

We have a 2002 Toyota Sienna with the 3.0 1MZ-FE VVT-i. Has 175,000 miles. It always used synthetic oil without a hint of sludge. It eventually did use oil and leak a lot from the valve cover gaskets. It got to the point the poor thing ran low and knocked when revved. It survived though! Never knocked again. I overhauled it myself throughout this year and put new valve cover gaskets, PCV valve, upper intake gasket, all drive belts, new timing belt with new OEM pulleys, tensioner, and water pump. I put in pink Lexus coolant. Back in January 2020 I put in Royal Purple HMX 5w-30 oil. Only half a quart was lost in 3000 miles. Glad to see it running strong again!

Yep! Scotty, I had a Mercedes customer call our shop when I was in high school, (1974). She was at the post office and said the car wouldn't start. I went to investigate and found the engine locked up with 25k miles on the 2 year old Mercedes - no oil showed on the stick! I asked when she had the oil changed last. She looked surprised at me and said, "Oil Change? It's a Mercedes, do they need oil changes?" I just shook my head and smiled and said, "yes Ma'am, they do." She had the car trailered back to Dallas and $5k later she was on the road again and much wiser, I hope :)! Many other similar stories!

Great information if you are going to buy a used Toyota. Keep away from the 4 cylinder engine of the years he mentioned. 👍🏻

[@noniespam]

Talk about sludge build up. My dad bought a new 68 Galaxy, about 1971ish he lost oil pressure and developed a whole lot of oil leaks around the valve covers. So we removed the valve covers and found a type of slimy membrane laying over the lifters and plugging the drain holes that let the oil drain back to the pan. We figured the leaks came because the oil could not drain back to the pan and pressurized the top of the engine forcing oil out of any crack or weak gasket also causing the lose of oil pressure as there was no oil left in the pan. WE removed the slimy membrane and everything was good for years to come.. Now he exclusively used Quaker State motor oil and what we figured and later verified was that Quaker State changed up the oil formula and added more detergent. So using the older Quaker State for 3 years caused a sludge build up and when he did a oil change using the new formula, this broke down the sludge buildup causing the issue. He could have ruined his engine with this and Quaker State would have been Scott free, I just wonder how many engines were ruined across the United States because of Quaker State?????

[@TheLifetraveler1]

Scotty, My 1999 Toyota solara v6 manual camry, had one of those engines you're talking about. However, I never needed warranty work on it because I change the oil so often, as my grandfather taught me, that Toyota could never find sludge in that v6 engine. I literally because of what my grandfather taught me as a child would change the oil every 3,000 mi on the dot or less. Even now with my modern cars a 2016 Hyundai sonata and a 2015 Mazda 6 manual, I still have a problem letting oil changes go beyond even 4000 miles. That Toyota by the way went from 0 miles to 298,000 mi without any engine problems. Even the clutch was not replaced until 185,000 MI. I had it for over 16 years and the only reason it stopped at 298k is because a woman drove into it and totaled it. I loved that car and I'd still be driving it today.

[@kermitefrog64]

Totally agree. My fuel pump went out on my 1990 Chevy Lumina about 10 years ago when I was traveling in the Seattle/Tacoma area of Washington. I had come up from Southern California. Called AAA and have the extra package, they drove me 93 miles to my friends house. Between my nephew, a friend and myself we had to siphon the fuel and drop the tank. I purchased a fuel siphon from Kragen's Auto, which finally go bought out by O'Reilly's and a new fuel pump. An older friend took a look at the fuel pump and sure enough the brushes on the fuel pump had given their all. Why did Chevy never put an access to the fuel pump in the trunk ? It would have been the difference of many hours of shade tree mechanic work under the car. Thank goodness the temperature on the West side of the Cascade Mountains is a lot more tolerable than the South central part of Washington, Yakima Valley, where I grew up or in Southern California where I now live.

The problem was the engines ran hotter, and you had to change the regular oil more often, or switch to synthetic, or they would sludge.

Had a Pontiac 6000 w the 2.5 Fill the oil and check the gas, the motor still ran over 300,000 miles when I junked it. Despite changing fuel pumps every time the gauge hit a 1/4 tank at least three times at $500 each. This was a great running car! It’s first 100,000 were hard working miles, & got a new transmission, but that little four cylinder was amazing. As a young man I pushed it. Wasn’t great on hills but did 105 it was registered for. 2.0 cavaliers barely did 88, not a viable time machine. I don’t drive over 80 now. Every bump I hit now is one less later. That old 6000 A Car burned oil, but ran like a top. Im guessing we got lucky compared to other A-cars of the time. I still think fondly of the engine, figuring it’s why they’re so many mail trucks with 2.5’s in them.

Toyota made a dumb move when they discontinued the 22-R engine. That thing was bulletproof. Just change the oil on a regular basis.

Had a 2001 Highlander with the 3.0L V6 - lasted up to 200,000km (before cold starts was a problem - i.e. excessive oil seepage and smoke from worn valve seals - still drove well and needed a litre of oil between changes). Only other caution is the oil sensors (being permanently clogged) never worked correctly so oil circulation may be an issue especially being variable valve timing engines.

[@kthwkr]

In college I had a car that burned lots of oil. So when my roommates and our friends changed their oil they had instructions to put the old oil in a milk jug and leave it at my house. Then the head gasket blew and exhaust went into the coolant. It would boil over unless I left the radiator cap off so the exhaust would bubble out of the radiator cap. Then the gas gauge broke. So I started carrying a gallon of gas with me. When I ran out I would retrieve the gallon from the trunk and quickly pour that gas in and keep going. I got fast enough I could pour in the gallon while the light was red and not be late for the green. I got applause from strangers one time at my speed. Then the car vanished one day off my street. My roommate came in and saw me sitting in the living room playing guitar. He asked where my car was. I said it's parked in the usual spot on the street. He said, nope it's been stolen. I said darn my favorite shirt was in the trunk. And I continued playing guitar.

[@TheUltimateCrash1990]

@@justinm.5486 I looked up your vehicle, it looks like you have a 4 cylinder engine(with turbos? ouch.. Your engine is going to wear out faster due to the higher pressure) that uses Direct Injection. You will need to install a "catch can" now before your intake valves start carboning up. In older Multi Port Fuel Injection the intake valves would constantly get cleaned by the gasoline getting sprayed. You should drain and refill your transmission fluid every 30k? miles, keep on top of your oil changes as well. Honestly thought I would sell the car. Ideally you'd want to get a Toyota car with a 4 cylinder engine, with a non CVT Automatic transmission, and an engine that uses MPFI instead of direct injection. I'd make sure the engine uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt as well.
