Went to gas station wile filling I check the oil and nothing on the dip stick so when I got home top the oil and added 2 and 3/4 quarts and I still have 1555 to go before next oil change I am a certified v w mechanic and in my 67 years never seen this much oil burn off in any motor so I went on line and found Toyota has problems with the pistons they were not made right on the 4 cylinder motors and are fixing some and telling the rest of the owners that this is normal and ok not to worry but if I am burning that much the motor can no longer lube it and fail while driving it that is a very unsafe thing to happen.
