HI again.
toyota give the use of 1 ltr of oil in 1000 mile as being excessive oil consumption.
where you have given 6 ltr in 600 mile for the lexus.can this be correct.or is it just a typo.

It's a 'reado', not a typo - it's point 6 litre per 600 miles :lol:

6 months ago had coolant blow out into engine compartment.Mr T took it in,replaced head gasket,changed coolant type.The original coolant blamed for destroying head gasket material.No excessive oil consumption then or now.Two year extended warranty in place for peace of mind.

Lots of T-180 are having rebuilds atm it would seem! But great that Mr T is stumping up the money for a known issue! Well done Toyota again :thumbsup:
