I have a 2010 Feb VDJ79 ute (same engine as the 200minus a few extra bolt ons) And the first 10,000KM was fine. after that i have used 1L of oil every 2300KM. I have been Talking with my Toyota Dealer almost weekly about this problem and other problems i have had with the ute ( Rear Diff not aligned correctly, Stereo not installed correctly, Steering alignment not correct X5 and a few other faults) My dealer started to use a full synthetic oil i believe the HELIX HX7 that Ken has posted. The word is that this oil fixed the problem after 20,000KM. For the first 5,000KM it worked great. I used about 0.8L in the 5,000KM but after that still using the HX7 i am back to consuming 1L every 2,300KM. I am in the process of writing a letter to toyota for my Dealer to submit for me As he is working with me to solve this problem. But yes this is a joke! It has been too long and too many top ups. My old 1988 FJ73 didnt use this much oil and it had 620,000 on the clock.
