[QUOTE="paulgoh, post: 3336, member: 1705"] I suspect you won't go very far on your fight with Toyota. It is quite obvious to me that they were willing to screw their customers over to save money, with the kind of oil consumption test that they designed, i.e., stringent time and oil consumption requirements designed to exclude many customer with the defective engine. What you should do with your car really depends on the condition of your car and how many miles you have on it. If there are many miles on it and the condition is not great, it might be best to keep driving it and adding oil. However, if it is working perfectly and the mileage is not high, you might want to spend some money to repair it because the piston ring defect might cause cylinder wall scarring due to oil starvation, damaged valve stem seals, oil fouled spark plugs, etc. Take a look at this video, the guy managed to fix the problem by drilling 2 more holes in the piston and replacing the rings on it, a local engine repair shop with good reputation might be able to do it for under 2k: [MEDIA=youtube]A595LR4SQpI[/MEDIA] (For engine longevity, you should also consider replacing the valve stem seals and spark plugs if you choose to repair the engine.)
