wow. you are so very smart. i assume you work in the toyota warranty claims division. thanks for your wisdom. that is the point!! warranty claims can and do get denied for failure to have scheduled maintence. yes there has to be a connection proven. Toyota has the shown the ability to prove such a connection in some cases.

there is a case pending at our local toyota dealer where a camry owner's engine seized (ran dry 2500 miles past scheduled maintenance). all other maintenance was documented. toyota denied the warranty claim based on this. customer has appealed. i expect toyota will win this case. how can toyota do this. they cover their a**ses with the language they use to describe what constitutes "normal oil consumption" in their manuals. (ie had oil change been done on schedule, engine oil would not have run dry).

so, to make you happy, ill qualify what i said "just be glad there wasnt a major warranty issue with your engine. when you go over 1800 miles past a scheduled maintenance interval, toyota could easily deny warranty coverage if an engine failure was deemed by toyota to have been the result of missing an oil change."

it has happened with toyota vehicles. on the yaris specifically, i dont know what is considered "normal" oil consumption per the yaris manual.
