Hello, I have a 2009 Toyota Camry with 95,000 miles, and I have absolutely no oil burning issues. I was wondering, does this mean I got lucky and don't have the common piston ring wearing issue which causes oil burning, or do all of these engines have this issue and it just hasn't happened yet, but eventually will?
Thanks!
Clarification: Which engine do you have?
I have the 2.4L (2AZ-FE)
What it didn't all turn into oil burners and yours being a 2009 if it was a later made engine it had better piston rings all the 2007s I've seen with that engine burn oil but not all the 2009
Thank you sir!
Yours is a 2009 model year and if you keep up with oil changes, you may not have any issues with it.
Thanks, I am real anal about maintenance lol, so hopefully it pays off.
To be honest, you may not be out of the woods yet. Some 2009 Camry owners reported oil consumption around an average of 95,700 miles (since average it means it can occur beyond this, of course). Don’t lose sleep over it, but just keep an eye on it.

Thank you for the link, I'll check it our. I just changed my oil 2 days ago after 5,500 miles, and I check the dipstick before draining and it was about 1/6 of a quart short. Many cars lose that much oil just from the PCV valve in 5,000 miles, I'm really hoping I got lucky with this engine. I am not the original owner, but I see the paint markings on the dipstick which tells me Toyota did inspect it at one point for oil burning. Engine sounds very healthy otherwise, but if it starts burning, I just might go to Toyota with a copy of Scotty's video lol.
lol, sorry this is unrelated, but do you know what the check mark does on the left side of the comments?
