Common problems and what to check

Engine: Toyota 2AZ-FE (2.4)

  • oil consumption due to stuck piston rings (especially before 2009)
  • stripped cylinder head bolt threads in the aluminum block
  • water pump leak

What to check when buying: oil consumption per the owner and carbon deposits on spark plugs; coolant traces under the cylinder head.

Tip: Change oil more often than scheduled (7–8k km); overheating raises the risk of stripped threads.
