Yes, a faulty o r clogged Positive Crankcase Ventilation PCV valve can lead to excessive oil consumption in the Toyota Camry. The PCV valve helps regulate the flow of gases inside the engine, and when it fails, oil can be sucked into the intake manifold, causing it to burn. Some Camry owners in Pakistan have resolved oil consumption issues by replacing the PCV valve, which is a relatively low-cost fix compared to more complex engine repairs.
