oil disappearing, help?

[Nick M]

How much? A quart in a thousand miles?

I suggest the owners manual. They print it for a reason.

What they touch on the manual is why the oil level drops so fast after a trip of good distance. The oil heats up, and the additive pack goes to work. And all the garbage that dilutes the oil is burned up. So it looks like the oil dropped, when in fact, it wasn't full at all. It was just diluted. Oil burns in the 4 stroke otto engine. A worn engine will burn more.

we might if the milkshake was a little less obvious. no oil/coolant mix here.

Don't have to have a milkshake to have a BHG, ask me how I know.

But your problem doesn't sound like a BHG, valve stem seals whoopie!

Valve stem seals and/or rings.

would i have to go to toyota for new valve stem seals or is that something one of the sponsors carries? also, anyone have a step-by-step guide?
