Different engines and the 35K of dealer changes probably did not contribute. The 2AZ-FE engines of that vintage were known to eat a little oil. So it's most likely coincedence not cause/effect.
Just hard to shake things sometimes LOL
I assume they will be using Toyota synthetic oil and filters.
Thanks.
You have a 2008 2AZ-Fe engine with the bad piston rings. Toyota put out a TSB for the serial numbers. I have a 2008 Rav4 with the same 2.4L burner now at 95,000 miles and just starting to consume oil. The dealer oil changes have nothing to do with the oil consumption. That said. I will never do the 10k OCI on a Toyota engine. Toyota has a poor history of extending OCI's only to find later they have PCV/sludge issues. I am now on my 6th Toyota and all get 5000 OCI's with synthetic oil. You just can't go wrong.
