Oil Consumption 2.2 180

[xr650]

Hi all, reading with interest the recent oil consumption stuff re Rav 2.2 180...does anyone know if the chassis number gives a clue as to whether i am likely to suffer with oil consumption or is it just pot luck,mine is on an 09 plate & seems to always had some form oil consumtion all its life,not exessive as yet.does anyone know if the new engines being fitted now are modified or are they the same as what comes out.?

I thought all these engine problems were sorted out by 2009 models?

i have done a few later 09 cars so no it wasnt sorted by 09...

easy answer keep an eye on coolant and oil....anything over 1 lrt per 600 miles then its rebuild time
