Please dear experts,
I observed my camrey 2008 model is always have short age of engine oil.
Three consecutive months, have been servicing it less than a month interval with out engaging the car on travel. Having complained to my mechanics, he ask me to service the car again with another 5litrs mobile oil. Now still the same. He said I should bring the car.
Please what could be the reason? Before I hand over it mechanic.

Thanks

Is your car smoking i.e blue or white smoke in the morning?

**Don't service that car again.

1. Any visible signs of oil spills over the engine area?
Valve cover, crankshaft and the flywheel oil seals, the sump, and finally, the VVTi solenoid?
These areas are notorious for leaks, when the seals are failing.

2. From your symptoms, it appears you've problems with your piston rings.
This problem is common with the 2AZ-FE Camry engines.


Final solution?
1. Rebuild that engine with genuine parts totally.
It would come back to new.

2. Replaced the engine, if you don't want to rebuild it.
Its a 50/50 thing though, since you are not privy to the history or state of the engine you're buying, in Nigeria.
It isn't like in the USA, where you've engines with their history tags embedded on them in any junkyards.


Just in case you decide to consider the first option, do give me a call.
