@ok4450 What model year is your son’s Camry? That shop you mentioned probably felt the lady would eventually buy another Chevy and keep coming in for all her car’s requirements. ---

@ok4450 I believe your son’s Camry has the 5S-FE engine. That is a much simpler engine. And maybe that’s a good thing. Those are pretty tough, from what I understand Was that one of the engines from the sludge lawsuit of a few years ago? ---

Try a different brand of oil. Some oils seem to “agree” better than others with certain engines. Your engine might use less oil on a full-synthetic as well. I’ve been using Amsoil lately. It’s pretty cheap for a synthetic and my car uses no oil with it in the crankcase when it used to use a quart between changes with Mobil-1, and about half a quart with Valvoline Synpower. All 3 are excellent oils though. ---

I can’t speak for all Toyota engines…but I know that ones we own…they don’t burn even a pint after 5k miles. I haven’t owned a vehicle (American or Foreign manufacturer) that burned that much oil since my 73 Vega. 1 Quart every 1k miles on a Vega with over 60k miles was considered GOOD. ---

@db4690 it’s a 2006 Matirx with the 1zzfe & 32k miles. it’s more like 1/2qt per 5000 miles. ---

@circuitsmith that is very acceptable oil consumption [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/oil-consumption-2007-toyota-camry/76610.md?page=1)
