markm Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 The Mrs has a Toyota Verso 2.2 TD which is just coming up for its first 10k service, had it from new and in that time it has gone through 5 litres of engine oil. Is yours using as much and none owners do you think I might have a future problem?:blink:? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoCars Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 does sound a little excessive, engines sometimes use oil when running in from new, it should get better but keep an eye on it, sometimes when new engines arnt run in correctly the bores can glaze up and use oil that way, doutfull tho on modern engines, just mention it to toyota see what they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 My daughter has a Vauxhall Meriver, straight from the off it was using over a litre per thousand miles of the expensive oil Vauxhall told her to use, after 5000 miles they had it in and fitted new rings still high consumption, last year the ECU failed and again the dealers had it in for repair.and a second service, I complained about the cost on this forum last year,How much?? Over £800.00!! I complained on her behalf about how a relativly low milage car should cost so much?? their reply, its out of warranty, Pay Up.

ROBLATCH Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 chances are the car has not been run in correctly ie- excessive speed in the early days resulting in worn oil rings.the tell tale signs are excessive smoke when starting-running.check the water header tank for possible cylinder head leakage but i would be doubtfull this being the cause to use that amount of oil. as said previous i would mention to toyota for their advice. hope you get sorted.
