Yes, using the wrong engine oil can contribute to excessive oil consumption in the Toyota Camry. The vehicle manufacturer recommends synthetic oils like 0W-20 o r 5W-30, which provide optimal lubrication for the engine. However, some Camry owners in Pakistan use locally available oils, which may not meet the recommended specifications, leading to faster oil consumption. Many owners who stick to genuine Toyota-recommended oils report better engine performance and reduced oil consumption.
