Symptoms
The oil level drops between services (more than half a litre per 1,000 km and up to a litre or more), usually from 150,000–200,000 km; bluish smoke.
Possible cause described
Owner forums blame low-friction piston rings that do not scrape the oil well; the fix was revised pistons and rings. The German Yaris II guide says it was only fully fixed in the next model.
Check for the garage
Check the history for oil top-ups or replaced pistons; measure consumption between two changes and check the spark plugs.
