Hello. Please is there another catalytic converter in the bump on the exhaust underneath that rav 4?

[@lightningstrike437]

Does your rav burn oil? I have the 08 and it burns mad oil lol. I heard most do.

[@pierrerepair86]

Yeah, they all do. I think Toyota has piston ring issues in those models. I usually have to add a quart or two before the next oil change.

[@lightningstrike437]

@pierrerepair86 I'm doing a quart every like 500 lol. It's older though like 160,000. Think it's getting to the cat conv hence what landed me on your video lol. Thank you btw.

@lightningstrike437 I think that’s excessive. How’s your PCV valve?

[@lightningstrike437]

@pierrerepair86 I replaced it. Not much change. Also ran ats chemical 505cro and not much change either. I live in the PNW so it's all hills. I'm usually just under 3000 rpm so I think that contributes to some of the blow by.

[@pierrerepair86]

@lightningstrike437 I see. Any smoke upon start up?
