Three months ago I purchased a 2001 Corolla with 80k on it. I have now discovered that it burns oil to the tune of 1 quart per 200 miles. Please consider the following facts: The car runs great. It has no oil splatter anywhere underneath or under the hood. The parking spot is completely free of any drippings. There is absolutely no blue exhaust even on initial startup. Compression tests on the cylinders revealed
200 psi per cylinder (book says 145 min. 218 max.). The spark plugs did have white ash on them but were dry and not eroded. This is mind blowing, where is all that oil going??? 8O- posted
