So the girlfriends Toyota I had noticed was burning oil. She was currently using whatever the oil change shops had put in. Assuming 5w-30 as per Toyota recommendation. I kept track of it and it was using a quart every 1000 miles.
Next oil change I put in some PP 5W-40 euro that I had from the autozone clearance. That cut oil consumption to 1 quart every 2000 miles.
Question is does anyone have experience with the 2.4l from Toyota? Is this a common issue?
Another note, the switch to 5w-40 doesn't seem to affect performance or fuel economy and no check engine light for the VVT either.
