Early model 1ZZs are notorious for burning oil and destroying cats and such, because the oil passages are small, and the piston oil ring had a design flaw. My 1ZZ burns a quart every 1500 miles or so, and the previous owner + me combined have had to change out 4 O2 sensors probably because the soot from the oil destroyed them.
