Toyota says 1 liter oil burn per 1,000 KM is normal. Why would they misguide the public? Additionally, do you have proof of Workshop Repair Manual for 1kr-fe which says it is premature and a failure?
Toyota would be prone to getting sued all over the world if they had this 2 different things in their docs, misguiding the public.
In PAK, most people are not aware that these new engines like 1kr-fe burn sp,e oil which is considered is absolutely normal by Toyota. Our mechanics immediately recommend an overhaul or swap or rebuild upon hearing oil burn.
