Approximately toward the end of 2012 and into 2013 we started to notice that the engine oil light was coming on periodically - roughly around the 65 - 70,000 mileage point. We began adding oil, and re-checking the oil and found that the car was consuming oil at a rate of about 1 quart per 2 weeks. I would estimate based on the distance to employment that it comes to about 1 quart per 600-700 miles. A couple times…

Engine made knocking noise. Inspection by toyota dealer revealed engine main bearing problems probably resulting from low oil pressure or oil depletion. Possible faulty piston rings with this engine/year 2007. This problem is reportedly common with this 4 cylinder engine, but i do not have sufficient data to better assess. *tr

My 2007 toyota camry engine has been burning oil for the last one year. There are significant sludge in the engine that can damage the engine very soon. If i don't fill the engine with additional oil between two oil changes, when its time to change oil, nothing comes out from the engine - the entire oil is being burnt by the engine and the red oil change sign comes out while driving. This is a serious quality issue…

With the 2007 toyota camry, i am the original owner and have no complaints up to this point. Each recall or issue under warranty was handled as expected. When i was told that my car was down 2 quarts at an oil change, i was shocked as i had not seen the car leaving oil marks. The car has not been leaking oil, burning oil rather. I have had to check the oil weekly for the last several months and have had to add at…
