From: Paule on 7 Feb 2010 14:44 Hello to all. I have a Toyota Auris D4D 126 hp and I just consume 3 liters of oil in 13,000 miles that's a lot for a vehicle of 29,000 kms. Have you encountered this problem. Thank you to keep me informed on the newsgroup. Paule, French

How often do you have the oil changed? Do you see clouds of blue smoke when you start the engine after it has been sitting for a while? -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

There's smoke when overtaking vehicles. The grade of oil is the 5-40 original TOYOTA dealer. Greetings. Paule |
