[QUOTE="camryocto, post: 1776, member: 1236"] Just a report on my repair. My 08 camry has ~65K miles. I had been monitoring the oil consumption since 2013. It used to consume a qt of oil every 1600 mi. But lately, it dropped to 700mi / qt. I did oil change (and a mock test myself) before going to the dealership for the consumption test. The service advisor tried to sold me another oil change. After I refused, he mentioned that should they need to add more than a qt of oil for the test, I would be charged. I asked to be present when they sealed up the cap. There was a bit reluctance but they agreed when I insisted. It took me more than two months to complete the test (I don't drive much). Back at the dealership, I asked to be present when they measured. And I failed the test. Even after adding a qt, the level was only at the middle between the marks. I waited just a couple weeks before they started the repair. But the repair took more a than a month to complete due to back order of part. The repair seems to be good. After 1k mi, I don't see any consumption. The car has less vibration when idle (D\foot on brake). And there is even a slight improvement in gas mileage. [/QUOTE]
