Toyota 2AZ-FE oil consumption TSB!
It appears Toyota has issued a TSB for Toyota models using the 2AZ-FE engine (excessive oil consumption) -- Scion has apparently not followed suite (tC and xB2). Perhaps this is something Jennifer@Scion could look into for us! Hoping to hear from you Jennifer :)!

yeah, my tC drinks oil like no other.

Looks like I'll be checking mine this weekend
|
I sent a PM to Jennifer@Scion, so hopefully we'll hear from her :)!
|
Glad to know that they are issuing a TSB for that..my tC went through oil like crazy..oil light came on after only like 3k miles and it was practically bone dry when I would check..
Don't have the tC anymore for that reason. |
I haven't paid attention to exactly how much oil my tc has been burning up but I know it has. Gotta keep an eye on this and see what they say.
|
i check mine every gas fill up or once a week,havent noticed any major oil burning,i had other cars in the past that would burn oil like crazy,but then again there were over 100k milage
|
Mine burns about 1/8 qt between oil changes. Healthy motor ftw.
|
well that explains ALOT for me...
every 1500 miles i have to add about 1 qrts to 2 qrts of oil FTL. at first i thought it was me... but i guess its a wide spread thing. currently almost 90k miles on THIS motor. (the built HC one). i have always hated the oil consumption on this car. i guess ill have to investigate more i use mobil 1 fully synthetic 10w30 though... synthetic i know burns alot faster then conventional oil. |
Hey guys, a TSB has been released for the 2007-2009 tC and 2008-2009 xB with the 2AZ-FE engine. It was released August 11th and includes information pertaining to oil consumption and how to determine the consumption rate. If you want to start an oil consumption test, bring the vehicle in to a dealership and they can begin.
This does still fall under the applicable warranty (powertrain warranty) which is 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s in-service date. Any questions, feel free to call us or PM me! |

i WAS gonna mention this but you beat me to it.i just scrapped the 3 tc and 1xb2 blocks we had......
Good lookin' out ;) |
so nothing about the 05-06 motor?? thats bull____!
i jus did my oul change 1300 miles ago and im already dry, literally dipstick is at empty |
oil*
|
I guess I lucked out. Just finished a 10,000 mile oil run and added zero oil. The oil level was at the full line and dropped maybe a 1/3 of the way between the normal range on the dipstick. I was shocked!
This is why I tell people to break in their engines HARD. Dumped the factory oil at 2k and I have never had to add oil between oil changes. |

no xb! lol i have an 05 tc 2AZFE with 144,444 miles.
im alil ____ed off as to why its only a recall for the 07& up models. thats annoying! |
144,000 miles....It's going to burn some oil lol. Upgrade to a 40 weight oil to help slow down the consumption.

hmmm...strange that 2AZ-FE powered scions aren't on the TSB. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that all those models are built in North America, and Scions are built in Japan.
