So im wondering if im going thru the same thing. I have to put oil in the car every 2 weeks https://plaincars.com/make/toyota-scion-tc https://plaincars.com/make/toyota-scion-tc#complaint-1785574 Thu, 30 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT Uses too much oil between oil change. 1quart low at 2000 miles.

I love this car and wish I would have received the notice about the engine problems back when Toyota may have done something about it. I know that three difference dealerships have my contact info. I will continue to put in a quart of oil each week until that stops helping. https://plaincars.com/make/toyota-scion-tc https://plaincars.com/make/toyota-scion-tc#complaint-1731883 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION https://plaincars.com/make/toyota-scion-tc https://plaincars.com/make/toyota-scion-tc#complaint-1730904 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT MY 2007 SCION TC.
