My car burns oil approximately 1 quart every 300 miles.
My mechanic told me to put lucas oil treatment.
He told me to get two bottles and put them in the engine oil( all 2 quarts)
Is this a viable solution to my engine oil consumption problems?
I'm tired of putting a quart every time I fill up on gas

To be honest those have never worked for me only a super temporary situation. mine burned a ton too but just ended up dying on me. which is why i went to a 2zz but i would just suggest getting it prepped for a rebuild or just update the pistons

Thanks 1nicetrd, what kind of pistons would be a good replacement?

if you buy any aftermarket ones from ebay they should have 4 holes on each side of the piston thats solid sign of them being the revised one or if you get some from where ever make sure its from a 04and up 1zz-fe

1nicetrd, thanks for the info.
I found this on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Evergreen-PA2...55661324&sr=8-6&keywords=1998 corolla pistons

how do i know if it has 4 holes on each side?

Yup they are a better version you can see the holes in the third or forth photos

GAH! my power steering pressure hose is leaking now!
ack! pffft!
new pistons gonna have to wait.
also i put 20w 50 oil and it lasts just a little longer.
does that make any sense?

Mechanic replaced the power steering pressure hose and now
turning wheels is easier....
