Default Re: 2009 1.8L new engine

I have heard about "different" Dual VVTI software programming from the factory for either the auto trans or man trans could effect the oil consumption problem. 0w20 Toyota synthetic used in my '09 and now with 18k on the clock, still no oil consumption. My car is a 5-speed but cannot confirm the "different" tuning from the factory with either transmission. My ladies '06 is filled with 5w30 Mobil1 and mileage between both cars is nill, give or take. 36MPG plus is average for our Corolla's and the old GMC Truck, 8MPG parked! LOL


Who woulda' thunk that GM and Toyota are still and have for a long time in bed together!?
