Hey, I have purchased a 2011 Toyota Camry LE for $4,500 from the Toyota Dealership with 189,000 as my first car. Everything has been good with it besides the oil is burning I think because I’m having to put oil in it every 3-4 weeks! Also the current mileage is (198,500) it’s a four-cylinder should this somehow get fixed or will I have to always put oil in it? Thanks
Any oil spots where you park it? If not, replace pcv (cheap and easy). If no spots and not because of blowby due to bad pcv, then likely ring and/or valve seat wear. Not a cheap fix. This is a case where I'd put cheaper non-syn oil in it and just drive till you get cat failure.
Those models are notorious for oil burning due to piston ring issues. If you want to fix it, you need to rebuild the engine which cost you more than the car worth. I totally agree with @Hillbilly, just add oil whenever it needs and change oil and filter every 5k miles religiously.
