2003 Camry Oil Shortage by banky3w(m): 6:54pm On Apr 12, 2016
My 2003 Toyota Camry does not smoke from the exhaust and neither does it drops oil on the floor when parked, but the oil shortage I get is massive especially when I travel with it and it's becoming worrisome. I am sceptical about my mechanic busting open my engine to check because he cannot pinpoint what's exactly wrong. I use Toyota oil (20w 50). Could it be the oil? I also tried Mobil 1 and it happens too. Please guys, I need advice because I love this car. Runs like a dream. Please help!!!

m not really a guru, but from small experience your engine ring is getting bad. You might experience extra fuel intake. Its possible that the oil escape is still invisible to the eyes, when u ride it for long distance the shortage increases than usual...one of the reason some people get engine knock without seeing it coming.

New engine loading. Don't bother overhauling, get a sharp toks, and this time do not kill it with 20w50.

Can I go back to 5w30? I did not use it because of its unavailability in kaduna here but I recently spotted some in a shop. I used it once when I went to ibadan and bought while coming back but only lasted a month because of shortage.
