According to carbrain.com "The 2009 Toyota Corolla has problems with the engine that cause it to burn through oil excessively. This problem is so widespread, a class-action lawsuit is currently being developed. The lawsuit alleges that the problem lies in a faulty piston ring design. However, it can take years for a lawsuit to reach a settlement. In the meanwhile, you might be on the hook for the cost of excess oil replacements. If you fail to maintain your oil properly, you could blow the engine. Dozens of drivers have reported needing to replace their engines entirely due to the damage. An engine replacement can cost $5,000 or more." So um, keep that in mind. Ben and Judah talk about their own car problems and also it's tea time. Thanks. Careful. Sorry.
