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

Are you using the proper grade oil?

While many vehicles consume less oil, 3 liters of oil consumption per 13,000
miles (20,800 km) works out to 1 liter per 4,300 miles (6,900 km) and is not
usually considered to be excessive.

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?

No there was very little smoke.
There's smoke when overtaking vehicles.
The grade of oil is the 5-40 original TOYOTA dealer.
