Please explain how oil (which is in the crankcase and not in the cylinders) can affect the O2 sensors and the cat. If you are getting oil on your O2 sensor and catalytic converter, your rings are shot and you are going through a LOT of oil. There should be close to zero oil in the combustion chambers on a relatively new car.

That's funny - My Subaru has an engine in it that says TOYOTA right across the top of it.
And regardless what does toyota do when they get a GT86 or FRS in for service??? Send it to the Subaru dealer?? Give me a fucking break
