Hi, I own a Toyota etios diesel vehicle (2016 model) which I am using for taxi purpose. I have noticed a severe oil consumption in my vehicle after its 40000km service. When I checked the oil level at 46000,the oil was just above the lower dot mark. When I approached service centre people they just simplified the matter and told me that this much oil consumption is a normal thing and nothing to worry. Since I was curious to know the reason of oil consumption, I asked them regarding the solution.
Then they told me that you can either top up the oil level or do service at every 5000 km, and the interesting thing is, they also don't know the way, the oil disappear from the engine. Since the service warranty is only up to 100000 km, I am very much worried about the engine condition after the warranty period. If some thing happened to the engine the dealer will not consider it as a manufacturing complaint.
Oil consumption issue is not a rare case. All etios diesel vehicle owners are facing the same problem. Most of these etios are using for taxi purpose in india. So the Toyota company is just cheating their etios customers by hiding this issue and trying to convince the customer by telling the same words."NOTHING WILL HAPPEN".
