![]() ![]() ![]() The engine is NOT leaking any oil or I would see it on my garage floor (not a drop). I have also had some blue smoke on startups (There are some threads on the net with the same problem and I know what blue oil smoke looks like.). It has less than 50,000 miles on it and I have had some oil consumption problems (1 or 2 quarts between changes). I purchased the truck new and take very good care of it. I have a 2016 Tundra with the 5.7 engine. My first tundra and Im kinda bummed I thought these were supposed to be great engines? So they recognize the complaint and are actually helping me out, the truck is under warranty so I will see where the oil is in 1200 miles and let you know what happens. ![]() The service manager came over and asked a few questions and agreed they need to do a oil consumption test for the next 1200 miles, the mark the oil drain plug and oil filter to be sure I don't mess with anything. I had the receipt from Napa showing the purchase of the oil, he still was rude as hell and discarded my story, I asked him if he was a mechanic and he said yes with 20+ years experience, I opened my wallet and pulled out my airframe and power plant license ( I am a licensed aircraft mechanic with over 30 years experience working on planes and helicopters) he changed his tune right away. He said I must have done something wrong and he did not believe I added 3 its of oil. I just picked up a 2017 Tundra SR5 TRD 5.7 with 47500 miles, when I picked it up from a local dealer (not a Toyota dealership) it had a fresh oil change with 25 mile on the oil, in 2 months I put 1400 miles on it, I have checked the oil after I put approx 900 miles on it and all "was" fine, I checked the oil yesterday and had to add 3 quarts, I thought I was delusional, but it took 3 quarts of mobil 1 synthetic 0-20, I called the dealership and they thought I was crazy, I went in today with the purchase paperwork, jiffy lube oil change paperwork from the dealership to prove mileage on the oil, the KIND service rep was being a d-bag. ![]()
