Oil loss - Toyota Yaris Forums

bentjazz · 09-11-2011, 01:26 AM

Any Yaris owners experience oil loss? With my old 1999 Corolla, I used to experience around a quart to a quart and a half of oil loss every 3,000 miles. It's a pet peeve of mine, really. I haven't experienced any oil loss with my Yaris, as of yet. Then again, I'm only at around the 6,000 mile mark. I've heard of people never losing any oil for the life of their car. Hope I'm one of those people....

80K and no appreciable oil loss between 10K oil changes on my 08 sedan.

Well if your car starts using a quart of oil every 2000 miles just leave the keys in the ignition some night.

I will be over to take it off your hands.

My old '79 Tercel burned oil (3/4 qt between changes). It had 246k miles on it when I sold it, still running fine, for $400.

I do not expect my '07 Yaris to start burning oil until ~350k. Better engine tech, better oils.
