Excessive oil consumption issue on our 2000 Toyota Corolla. Check engine light is on and indicates needing a new catalytic convertor. However, that is an effect of the cause of excessive burning of oil. I add approx 1-2 quarts of oil every 250-400 miles. If highway driving, I easily add 1 quart of oil every 100 miles of driving. This appears to be an issue with 1zz-fe 1. 8l engines from 1998-2002 based on numerous complaints of exactly the same issue. Since this condition does not manifest itself until out of the powertrain warranty, this will never be a warranty or recall issue unless Toyota admits there was a design flaw.
