It should still be warranty. 1 litre of oil in 4000 mi is too much for a car with only 29,000 km (19,000 mi). Jeff

When you say that the grade of oil is the 5W-40 original, are you saying that the oil is the original oil that came with the car o that the oil is what the Toyota dealer uses when changing the oil? Hopefully, your local Toyota dealer knows to use oil rated for diesels. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

But may be you should use a "heavyer" oil, that has become a known cure for these new diesels here. I guess Ray knows much more about that. Are you doing mostly short trips? Does it have particle filter? That may influence the oil consumption. AU |
