Known Issues for This Vehicle
Oil consumption
The Toyota 1ZZ-FE engine is known for excessive oil consumption, often due to piston ring wear or valve stem seal issues.
Piston slap
This engine may experience piston slap, which is a knocking noise, particularly when cold, caused by excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall.
