Default Poll- Is your RX300 an OIL-SUCKER?

How about a poll to see how many of us are currently using oil (especially on highway)?
My problem was cured with an RX330 valve cover. If you vote NO because you fixed problem with new valve cover please reply to this post to confirm.
I can't seem to edit the poll to add this as a 3rd option to pick...maybe a mod can do that???

Interesting poll, but be careful in interpreting results.

Majority .. almost all RX .. never consume oil when they were new.

Salim-
Agreed...but it seems the baffles in the cover clog up and cause problem especially over 100K miles and at 70+mph.
If the cover was not a problem I don't believe Toyota would redesign it TWICE lol.
