In this video we take a close look at what's often called Toyota's worst engine ever made. The 2AZ-FE with it's infinite oil burning problems.
It is a matter of fact from experience and testimony of those who own this engine that it got really bad press because of a single problem which Toyota actually dealt with but still.
The 2AZ-FE Had a rough start into life in 2002 then when it got updated in 2007 things went from bad to worse. But actually a surgery type repair to this engine easily turns it into one of the best most reliable engines that Toyota Made.
In this video we tear into a 2012 Toyota Corolla XRS ( Canadian Model ) to repair the common issue with oil burning with the 2AZ-FE which earned it the worst engine name.

@carllinder9599 Год назад

@@zhila5958 Hey Zhila, It's my second corolla the first was a late 90s one that I drove the hell out of till some one totaled it, I loved that car, I was searching for this one for a while, when I ran across it, I was unfamiliar with the XRS variant, it fit the description I was looking for, a sedan, black leather interior, fairly clean, really liked the idea of a bigger eng. in the corolla. After buying it, I got the chance to compare it to a new Corolla IM, I thought my steering was slightly sluggish and the ride stiff but in comparison I was very impressed with the torque, mid range and top end of the XRS, It was a substantial jump. I later found out about the oil consumption, I usually do oil changes about every 2000 so when I saw this I panicked, I knew I needed brakes soon and could feel the clunking in the steering, that too was making me nuts, so I was searching for the best Dealer Mechanic I could find, that's when my nephew told me about Ahmed on RU-vid, I had already seen him so I thought if he's in a state near buy, perhaps I could make it happen, that's when I found out he was a few towns over 🤯, when I met him and his team of two, I knew he was the one, when I got my car back, the steering was perfect, the brakes perfect and now I'm finding out about the eng. because I'm under strict orders to keep it under 70 for the first 1000 lol, This is being the most difficult part! This man and his wife are truly an amazing team, one of the best I've ever seen! All I own are Toyotas and Hondas, If I owned a Honda, I would beg him to work on that too, perhaps I need a rav4 hybrid or a Prime lol.😁

Yeah... If you think about it, 3200$ in oil, can last a long time, you guys put too many miles on it. Mine is a 2010 Rav 4, it shouldn't have this problem, but it's burning close to a quarter every 1.000 KM, somewhere like 1.5 Q every 1000 miles, i haven't taken the car to a shop yet, but a guy told me it's easily a 750$ job at least (i live in Costa Rica, so labour is much cheaper, also i don't believe the bullshit of buying Toyota oil and coolant), so I'm actually thinking about how long could i go, with 800$ of oil.

I am not a mechanic, but I was completely glued to to my computer screen for 43 mins. The Car Care Nut is an excellent communicator great source of information. My wife and I've been marries for 50 years and our first car was a light yellow 1968 four door Toyota Corona with bucket seats, four on the floor, a heater and an AM radio. She purchased it used in 1970 for $750.00 when Toyotas here in California were a novelty. We put over 250,00 miles on that car with absolutely no problems other than a starter, wqsd belts and tires! The only reason that car isn't with us today is a mechanic at K -Mart installed a new battery backwards and fried the electrics. It was never the same again. To this day all the cars we've owned have been Toyotas, with the exception of a Ford p/u and a Honda Accord in the 80's.

Excellent video! As the son of a machinist we rebuild all kinds of engines in the 70's and 80's. Still do. It makes me cry to see otherwise good vehicles in the junk yard due to simple issues like replacing pistons/rings. As you mentioned the rod bearings look perfect, so why mess with success? We often re-used good parts because of the cost. A lot of the time, if you really know the engine, I was amazed at what dad could get away with with no apparent effects or noise. I often think of the environmental impact of wasting an otherwise good car and mankind's stupidity! Thanks for mentioning the rusted bolt situation in northern states and Canada. I'm in Canada and it is an unbelievable problem. When re-ringing / rebuilding my first Toyota Corolla engine in 1978, the very first bolt I removed, radiator hose bolt on the top of the cylinder head, it snapped off due to rust! I stared at it in disbelief. The old Corolla ran well after the ring job. One cylinder had a compression of 40lbs when it came in. The rings were actually broken on that one. I honed it really well and regardless of a bit of scoring it worked well. Got to love your great videos and the knowledge you can impart to people.😄

Or become your own mechanic. I could do what I saw done here if I had a place to work. His show-and-tell tips are invaluable. Especially, it is important to know that just based on visual inspection a professional mechanic did not see a need to change the bearings. Considering the cost of a new car, $4000 is not a lot to spend to keep a desirable existing one running for another decade or longer. My thought, however, is that even $500 will buy you a lot of parts and tools. The most essential tool is a highly accurate torque wrench.

Thanks again for showing in detail what the culprit is! I purchased 2008 Scion Tc for my son with 125k miles 2 years ago before I knew this. Burns some oil so we just make sure never runs low....so far so good and it's been a great first car we got lucky to get it for cheap before this crazy used car market!

Nice video!!!!! Been a mechanic for over 45 years. Remember doing in frame rering jobs on chevy pick up trucks. Pulled heavy cylinder heads and dropped oil pan. Honed cylinders to help seat new rings and rinsed grit out of block with solvent. A real pain to work upside down under the engine. Mostly did this job on trucks that the thermostat stuck and over heated and caused rings to collapse and loose their tension on cylinder walls. I worked in a machine shop that did rework on toyota engines daily. Balanced engines and blueprinted race engines. We surfaced many toyota cylinder heads but had to check valve to piston clearance. We would flycut piston valve reliefs if necessary. We even welded aluminum cylinder heads in combustion chamber and remachined and install new seats to salvage expensive cylinder heads. With the right equipment any engine could be salvaged. Went on to be a F-16 fighter jet machanist with access to high tech cnc machinery.

Just a thought, as much in depth tear down as you seem to do, having a dedicated multi shelfed and wheeled "parts cart" to put components on during tear down would pay for itself in no time. between walking back and forth, moving stuff that might be in the way later, and general peace of mind in enhanced organization, it would be adapted to quickly. Clip board hangar, specialty tool bin, subset of cleaning or oil catch pads, a whiteboard, etc etc. whatever fits specific needs. Love the videos !!!!

@ifluro Год назад

I had one example that was leaking oil at the back under the intake. Removing the head revealed a mark on the block like something was dropped on the mating surface prior to assembly. A small groove from oil gallery to the outside of the deck. Was not picked up until 20k as the foam insulator soaked up the oil first before any leaks could be noticed.

My previous car, an 03 Camry LE, had this engine. Survived brutally long road trips. Lived in the car under the Florida sun, with the engine constantly idling w/ AC. For all of its problems, it really did last a very long time. My experience with it is what made me get a 2011 Avalon Limited for its replacement. Only bad part is that the 2GR V6 doesn't seem as easy to DIY. ;/

@MattExzy Год назад

My 2005 Camry has 210k miles on it. I can safely say, besides a slight timing cover oil leak, it doesn't burn *any* oil. I've owned cars before from other manufacturers that have been oil burners; the 2AZ-FE in my case does not.

@Zephyrdaze1819 Год назад

This was my bad luck with bought-new 2008 Camry. The dealer spent several months telling me huge oil consumption was normal, only to change their story when the engine was losing power, too. Got rid of it before Toyota got their act together and began fixing cars out of warranty. The Company took WAY too long to address this problem, imo.

@garyf2871 Год назад

I remember that 2008 year camry, consumer reports, for the 1st time in years didn't automatically put it on their recommended list due to engine problems. Not much of a car guy back then, but I guess this is the problem they were refering to...

@ValentinoBentley Год назад

My 2010 Camry that my parents gave me also consumed oil. About 1qt every 2-3k miles. Loved the car though. Just had to keep an eye on the oil level once a week. Never saw a check engine light. Always started. Had like 170k miles before I wrecked it However I ended up hydroplaning it and have since owned a 2012 Lexus is350 awd 150k miles (wrecked) and a 2015 rc350 awd fsport 103k miles(wrecked) and 2017 Lexus rc 350 awd fsport 73k miles and have had no issues, no check engine lights and no oil consumption

It might purchase lots of oil but what it's not gonna do is pay for new catalytic converters, AF/R SENSORS, 02 SENSORS, THROTTLE BODY CLEANINGS, PCV VALVES ETC... YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE TOYOYA PISTONS AND RINGS. THERE ARE AFTER MARKET AVAILABLE THAT HAVE THE UPGRADED RINGS. MAHL IS A OEM PISTON AND GASKETS SUPPLIER. HOWEVER THIS WHOLE KIT IS JUST OVER 800.00 DOLLARS AND IF YOU DO THE WORK YOURSELF EXTRA COST WILL BE MINIMAL.

I had a 2000 Corolla with the 1zzfe which is notorious for burning oil due to the piston rings having flaws from the factory. Over the 8 years I owned her it never burned a drop of oil. I believe the 1 previous owner probably had the oil changed religiously. I also always did the oil changes myself every 5k. Finally had to junk her last summer due to rust. It still ran and drove perfectly!
