Oil consumption - Toyota Yaris Forums

bear4 · 01-02-2009, 12:27 AM

Hi,

We recently bought a used 2007 Yaris sedan which is overall a great car. However, on our first long highway trip from Florida to Canada (20hrs non-stop driving over 70MPH and then back - 2800 miles total) I noticed that the oil level dropped about 1/4''. We had this car for 5 months and it did not use any oil at all in normal city driving - I already went through 2 oil changes. So this oil level drop got me a little alarmed - is this normal for a Yaris? Does anybody experience the same driving at high speeds for extended periods of time? It has 72,000 miles on it.

Thank you!
