My crappy old school Hyundai engine and my Honda VTEC burns ZERO oil per 150,000 miles. Low tension oil rings? Sorry Toyota. Perhaps you should consult one of the H companies to see how its done. I've burned enough oil to compete with the Valdez spill. That's why, like Exxon stations, I just drive by Toyota dealerships like they no longer exist.
I turned the video off once I figured out that the "Toyota screwed up their piston return hole design" truth was never coming and that somehow my 5,000 mile oil changes with higher quality oil filters was the problem all along. 16:15 > and yes sir, you are just another fool on the internet.

24 minutes is too long of a video to explain the REAL problem. Plus he missed some critical points.
