Is It Normal For Corrola Engine Oil To Be Reducing. by Gaggii: 2:52pm On Mar 06, 2021 |
Good day all, I bought my corrola last year. After sometime, I realized that the oil will gauge after servicing. But after some months the oil will start going down. Before now, the oil only changes when due for servicing, but doesn't not reduce. My mechanic has checked everywhere for leakage but none. Please what could be the cause. 1 Like |

What year or model is your toyota Corolla and what's d mileage. My 2006 Toyota corolla doesn't short oil. I used Mobil 1 Extended performance 5w30. I bought d car with mileage 87,000 miles as tokunbo and oil is around 3000 miles and its still gauge, nothing like oil shortage. 1 Like |

I don't think Toyota cares about all these oil weight, I know people who use 20w50 for years without problem. ofcourse it's not above the 2007 models |

Gaggii: If no signs of leakage or smoke, worn out piston rings and/or valve seals could be the culprit. Switch to a thicker oil (if you haven't done so already) and reduce oil change intervals to 2-3 months. Prepare for an engine rebuild/replacement. 2 Likes 1 Share |

aieromon: Which other oil can you recommend, I heard Mobil is the best. That's why I stick to it |

Gaggii: If this is the oil you use, stick to it for now and buy only from Mobil filling stations. 1 Share

SeaTrade:You bought a Nigerian used toyota hilux. First error. You may or may not know it has been abused (hiluxes in Nigeria are severely abused) but being a follower and poster on this section of car talk, I believe you knew. You knew it had oil consumption problems yet you took it on interstate journey with load. Second error. You may or may not have investigated the reason for the oil loss. If you did not. Third error. You did not fix the oil loss issue but continued travelling with the hilux and I know you drive hard. Fourth error. No blame the hilux bros. The writing was on the wall but you failed to heed the warnings. Contact Trygo for a swap. He just recently swapped in a 4runner engine (cheaper than the hilux engine) into a hilux. He is the man to fix this problem. Toyota hilux are not known for oil loss problems. Those trucks are loved and used by militants and terrorists in the most inhospitable regions of the world and serve faithfully. They are the epitome of reliability. All the best. 2 Likes |
