    2015 Camry 4 cyl antienvironmental oil burner

    I just completed my 1,200 mile oil consumption test. I used between 0.8 -0.9 quarts. To qualify to be fixed the vehicle had to use 1 quart or more.

    My 2015 Camry (2.5L 4Cyl 178 Hp) has used one quart of Mobil 1 0W-20 oil in the first 4,178 miles. I'm shocked. The salesman is surprised both at the oil usage and that anyone checks the oil anymore. I've spoken with the service department (the service manager told me I talk too much) who wants...
