Engine not specified
| Toyota Corolla in North Carolina, United States Feb 2011 - Mar 2011 | |||
| Mar 2011134000 mi | Burning about a quart of oil a month when sold. Once I checked the oil and almost nothing at all showed up on the dipstick (it took 2 quarts to get it to halfway full) but the oil pressure warning light had not come on. Had developed a vibration/noise from the right rear wheel -- frequency proportional to my speed and occurred at every speed. CEL. My mechanic checked code, told me for catalytic converter. Advised me not to replace it, saying he'd often seen Corollas throw that code when nothing really wrong with catalytic converter. | ||
