Oil Consumption On The Vvti Avensis

[Casey]

Someone please tell me, is it right for me to assume that Oil consumption problems ceased to exist in the 2005+ Avensis including the VVti models?

yes, approx 05 plates. there's a thread on here somewhere which tells you the engine types/numbers that are safe.

Mid 2005 it was fixed. you need to check the engine VIN No.

As far as I know it was only the 1.8 vvti which had the problem, and, as previously posted, was cured around 05 ish.

Oil consumption was an issue in both 1.6 3zz and 1.8 1zz / 2zz emgines toyota resolved this by raising the oil level 0.5 of a liter to improve piston cooling and adding more return holes in the piston skirt .but if any petrol engine is abused wrong oil / lack of serivce this will lead to carbon deposits / sludge which blocks the pcv system and causes oil to be forced pass the rings resulting in oil burning .gud service history and correct oil is a must wit theese engines
