Replying to: bob255 (May 25, 2009 4:07 am) Perhaps the type of oil that is used makes the difference considering one has a 4cyl engine which uses 5w-20 (bob's) and the other 6cyl which uses 5w-30 (Dwayne's). I have a 2007 camry ce 4cyl that uses a qt of oil every 3500-4000 miles. The other thing that I'm worried about is that it makes a little tapping noise when it's not at operating temp every morning (I don't drive hard) when I accelerate. Anyway, wouldn't the oil consumption of bob's camry foul the catalytic converter and other emission parts faster.... perhaps immediately after the warranty that makes it harder for 'us', the users? tony

Replying to: tony108 (May 25, 2009 4:55 am) I do not know what viscosity oil the dealership is using in my 2007 V6 Camry. ------- Let's assume that it is 5w-30. QUESTIONS: --- What would happen if this was used in bob's 4 cylinder engine? ----- What would happen if one quart of 5w-30 was subsituted for one quart of 5w-20 at the next oil & filter change? ----- Is it possible, that the fuel injection system is diluting the oil with extra fuel thus causing the oil to be consumed? Best regards: ------ Dwayne

Replying to: djm2 (May 25, 2009 6:34 am) By way of explanation, the engine of a motor vehicle consists of a collection of moving parts which require lubrication in order to keep working. Engine oil is pumped under pressure around the major bearings and allowed to lubricate other parts such as pistons and vales with a very thin film. These parts are in close proximity to the combustion chamber where air and fuel are burned. As the engine runs, some of this oil will find its way into the combustion chamber and be burned along with fuel, this is normal. The engine is designed to consume some engine oil as part of everyday operation.. The amount of oil consumed will vary depending on driving conditions and other factors including engine wear. "A maximum limit for oil consumption is one quart per 1200 miles of driving" If a vehicle consumes more oil than this under normal conditions, it is likely to require repairs. My Camry is using one quart per 1400 miles. Bob

Replying to: bob255 (May 25, 2009 7:14 am) I can understand your disappointment with this vehicle. ------ Do you have an extended warranty on this vehicle? I have a 6 year 100,000 mile "top of the line Toyota warranty" on my V6 Camry. ---- Recently, my dealer replaced an exterior oil line under this extended warranty at about 46,000 miles. ------ If you intend to keep this vehicle, I would put a Toyota extended warranty on this vehicle for the maximum number of years & mileage. This oil problem is going to be a major problem as the mileage increases. ---- The extended warranty was $1600.00 at the time of the vehicle purchase. The oil line replacement was a $260.00 repair, and the warranty covered it! I am sure that before I reach 100,000 miles I will have additional repairs, so as such, I expect to break even with the cost of the warranty! Best regards. -------------- Dwayne

I have 53000 on my 2007 Camry and I've experienced hesitation when I accellerate since I purchased the car in Nov. 06. I had the injectors cleaned at 30K miles and it seamed to clear it up some, but it came back after a short time. Has anyone been able to correct the problem?

The people that buy these Toyota auto mobile need to do some research first before their buy any auto mobile. Let me give you some facts about Toyota Automobile. Nearly all the models of automobile that Toyota manufacture up to 2007 have developed SLUDGE. To get more information on sludge go to consumeraffairs.com. This sludge problem that near all Toyota and Lexus Automobile have developed was broadcast on the TV News. Dateline is a program on NBC TV in New York City. They did a one hour program on Toyota Automobiles developing sludge. Consumer Affairs have a list of some of the models and year of Toyota and Lexus Automobile that have developed sludge. People with automobile that is not on the Consumers Affairs List have develope sludge. On the Consumer Affairs Website people with all make and models and year up to 2007 of Toyota and Lexus Automobile have posted the sludge problem there that their Toyota and Lexus automobile have developed. The problem with nearly all Toyota and Lexus Automobile up to 2007 is that their automobiles are consuming oil. People driving NEW Toyota and Lexus Automobile notice that the OIL LIGHT on their automobile dash board flickers a few seconds after this OIL LIGHT flickers THEIR AUTOMOBILE BLOWS THE ENGINE. People started returning these Toyota and Lexus Automobile by the hundreds of thousands to the Toyota and Lexus Dealers where they had purchased their automobile. People with warranty on their automobile, Toyota would not repair these people automobile. Toyota Warranty Inspector charges six hudred dollars ($600.00) to remove the valve pan to check the people automobile for sludge weather they want to repair it or not. To replace a Toyota Corrola engine with a REBUILT ENGINE it will cost the automobile onwer OVER eight thousand dollars ($8000.00). To replace a Toyota Camry engine with REBUILT ENGINE this REBILT ENGINE will cost the automobile onwer over twelve thousand dollars ($12000.00).When hundreds of thousand of people started to returning these Toyota and Lexus Automobile with blown engine to these dealers. These dealers told these people the reason why their automobile blown the engine is that it is their fault. Over three point five million (3.5 million) PEOPLE TOOK TOYOTA TO COURT. The Kentucky and the Louisiana Court rule that Toyota must repair the people automobile and also extend the warranty, refurn the money that people had paided to repair any problem related to sludge in their automobiles. THE COURT ALSO RULE THAT 7.5 MILLION PEOPLE IS ALLOW TO TAKE TOYOTA TO COURT AGAIN. Toyota had settled in court of law in 2007. Toyota had never told their automobile dealers that nearly all their automobile included Lexus up to 2007 had this sludge problem. WHY TOYOTA AUTOMOBILE DEVELOPING SLUDGE. Toyota said that people taking short trips with their automobile will cause the automobile to develope sludge. In nearly every Toyota and Lexus Automobile that blows their engine, these people are drive their automobiles on the highway for example thirty to sixty miles a day. TOYOTA SAID THEY RESTRICTED THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF ANTIFREEZE THAT THE AUTOMOBILE NEEDS TO KEEP THE ENGINE COOL. By restricting the antifreeze going into the engine this causes the cylinders to operate at a higher temperature. Operating the automobile cylinders at a higher temperature this higher temperature increases their automobile gas millage. THE AUTOMOBILE ENGINE NOW OPERATING AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE, THIS HIGHER TEMPERATURE CAUSE THE OIL IN THE ENGINE TO TURN IN TO GREASE OR SLUDGE. The holes in the engine where the oil have to pass is slowly being block up. The hot oil that goes on top the engine to lubricating the valves and camshaft. THAT OIL WOULD TURN INTO GREASE OR SLUDGE ON THE VALVES AND CAMSHAFT AND IT WILL NOT RETURN TO THE OIL PAN. THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO KEEP ADDING OIL TO THE ENGINE. Even if you keep adding oil to the engine, the holes in the engine where the oil passes would become block and the engine cannot be lubricated any more and this is when the automobile blows the engine. HERE IS THE COURT CASE NUMBER IN CALLIFORNIA FOR THE TOYOTA AVALON 0905111933. Brand new Toyota Avalon 2006 with 33000 miles or less some may have 50000 miles KEEP BLOWING THEIR ENGINES. One owner who lives in New Jersey who drove a 2006 Toyota Avalon with 33000 miles. This car blown its engine at 33000 miles. This Toyota Avalon car has warranty but Toyota would no repair this person car. Toyota told him that to replace the blown engine it would cost in excess of $13000.00. This person owes $9000.00 on this car. If you have to buy any four cylender car or six cylender car. If you will drive this car on the high alott or if you will be putting 30 miles to 60 miles a day onto this car, buy this car form General Motors. You will get a 100000 miles warranty or five years. General Motors said that if you encounter a problem with this car you can return it to any General Motors dealers. General Motors will pay for the parts and the dealer will pay for the labour. General Motors have the technology and they build their cars chassis and body heavy. Go to the United States of Anerica Department of Energy and you will see the city and highway gass millage for any car. You will see that any General Motors Car beat any 4, 6 or 8 Cylender Honda,Toyota or any other make car for gass millage on the highway. Toyota Camry 4 cylender 2009 will give you 28 miles a gallon on the highway. The chevy Malibu will give you 33 miles a gallon on the highway.

Replying to: helpman230 (Aug 16, 2009 10:20 pm) Petition, online http://www.petitiononline.com/TMC2003/petition.html And search for Charlene Blake, cblake, and you'll find quite a bit of discussion about this problem. There had been a push by some to squelch discussion and even remove postings from other forums which Blake mentions occasionally. If you search for the words sludge, engine, toyota, you'll find lots of info.
