OIL CONSUMPTION!!! I'VE OWNED MY 2006 SCION TC FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING A HUGE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. IT DIDN'T PHASE ME AT FIRST, ALTHOUGH NOW I NEED TO SET MY ODOMETER TO ZERO AND REFILL MY OIL EVERY 800 MILES. I BELIEVE IT IS CERTAIN INTERNAL PARTS THAT ARE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM, SUCH AS THE PISTONS AND THE PISTON RINGS . I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF SCION TC'S LATELY, WHICH HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THE MODEL YEARS OF 2007-2009. I'M TRYING TO PROVE THAT ISSUE IS ALSO AFFECTING THE 2006 MODEL YEAR TOO, AND WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF I COULD RECEIVE SOME HELP CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I WILL UPLOAD A PHOTO OF AN OLD PISTON THAT SHOWS THIS EXACT PROBLEM.
