I heard that gen 6s are notorious for burning through oil when I got my last one. Is there anything that can be done to improve my oil consumption?
I do about 70 miles a day motorway driving, and the last thing I want is low oil pressure because I forgot to check it this morning. Cheers |

yeah the early 1ZZ was an oil drinker.
and yes new rings and a fresh hone on the cylinder walls will fix it. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
