Hello,
I have 1fz-fe 80.
I have been burning oil out of my exhaust, I'm thinking it is worn piston rings. I have had someone say valve stem seals.
It happens on cold start. Doesnt really happens when I start when the engine is warmed up.
The smoke gets worse when I'm on an incline. Whenever the Ac idler kicks on it smokes. I can't really see it when I'm driving so I don't know if it happens on acceleration but I'm assuming it does.
I did do a 2500 km road trip last week, and I had no dramas except I had burned through a lot of oil on the way down. However on the drive back home after I refiled it up it it didn't have the same problem.
I plan to change to heavier-weight mineral oil to see if that helps lessen the smoke. Otherwise, I will look at doing a rebuild before I tour the rest of Australia. Please let me know if you have any advice. It's greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
Also here are some photos of the trip,
