theres no way the camry ran dry on its own sorry, my 92 toyota doesnt even burn that much oil and its never seen a service nor have i ever bothered to change the tranny oil nor flush the coolant and it still runs like a champ lol.

im sure it ran dry due to not rotating the tires and changing the tranny fluid lol

doesnt matter why the camry really ran dry. the denial of the claim is directly connected to the failure to have the oil changed in a timely manner. it had gotten an oil change at the previous intervals, but missed the most recent 2500 miles ago. of course i also believe there is something seriously wrong and missing an oil change didnt "cause" the problem. however, toyota is claiming the amount of oil used to be "within outlined parameters," and that the missed oil change contributed to the engine running dry. bottom line is had the owner done the scheduled oil change, toyota would have no excuses for denying that claim.

im certainly not saying missing an oil change interval would actually cause a REAL problem, but could give toyota an "out" on certain specific engine failures.
