I heard that gen 6s are notorious for burning through oil when I got my last one. Is there anything that can be done to improve my oil consumption?
I do about 70 miles a day motorway driving, and the last thing I want is low oil pressure because I forgot to check it this morning. Cheers |

I dunno, my 7a was starting to eat oil at 150K. It was a single owner before me and they religiously changed oil every 3K though probably not with the best oil and filter but still. Others on the Corolla section of Toyotanation also report oil consumption issues even with proper care. Some people have torn down and found worn valve guides as the culprit and others have found coked/clogged oil control rings similar to what the early 1ZZ's had.
