Excessive oil consumption and vehicle acts like it wants to stall when trying to take off. It stalls when trying to take off after stopping at a red light, stop sign etc. I’m also drive 50 miles daily to work and back home. I’m putting in oil about every other day. No oils on ground, changed gaskets and oil changes- excessive consumption. I bought the car in 2014 from carmax

My toyota camry is using excessive amounts of engine oil. Beginning at about 90000 miles my 2008 toyota camry le equipped with the 2az four cylinder engine began to use oil. Subsequently, I took the vehicle to my local toyota dealer and was told I was two months out of my ten year warranty and any repairs would be at my expense. Today, the vehicle has 117000 miles and is burning a quart of oil every 700 miles. This is clearly a manufacturing defect that toyota should be responsible for correcting at their expense.
