Ours is a 4cyl EX. It uses about a quart every oil change. It's been that way since we got it at 165K for $200. If I put a real heavy weight oil in, it burns less.
280K, it hasn't caught up with the 2000 Camry v6 that has been parked for nearly 2 years. It has 360K. I am, very slowly, changing the transmission. Shifted fine, but the differential gears were toasted. It would bang going from P to R and R to D sometimes. Once I had it lifted off the ground, I could spin one wheel freely and the other didn't move if the internal diff gears were in a certain orientation. No bueno.
