| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I NOTICED THAT AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES OF FREEWAY DRIVING, I WAS BURNING OIL VERY FAST, BUT IT WASN'T NOTICEABLY SMOKING, OR LEAKING. I'D SAY I USE ABOUT ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 900 MILES OR SO. I DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. THEY REFUSED TO HONOR A RECALL IN EUROPE FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS ISSUED IN EUROPE AND NOT THE U.S. BASED ON MY RESEARCH AND SURVEY OF OTHER 2000-2003 TOYOTA CELICA GT OWNERS, THERE ARE MANY WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME MYSTERIOUS OIL CONSUMPTION. IT IS NOW A PRETTY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE AMONGST THE ONLINE TOYOTA COMMUNITY. *TR |
