Why is my Toyota Yaris using so much oil?
I have noticed that my 2010 Toyota Yaris 1.33 goes through oil. I have used genuine parts as per the last service with no help. There are no obvious signs of leaks. I was considering using a different oil brand and perhaps an additive. What are your suggestions to resolve this issue?

Oil consumption was a bit of a problem with the 1.33 engine in the Yaris, probably caused by a worn or broken piston oil ring, though could also be valve stem oil seals. Have the engine oil pressure tested.

Every few weeks I have to take the same spark plug out to clean oil off of it because it starts misfiring. Could you please tell me what the problem may be?

More room and better handling than the previous version. Excellent crash test rating. 1.4 D-4D does 50mpg +.
