These engines are known for oil consumption, especially the 2AZ-FE; it's a known issue Toyota has a TSB for that essentially says piston rings are bad. [link|https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10134187-9999.pdf|It's available from the NHTSA]. The problem affects nearly all of the 2AZ-FE engines from 2002-2008, and potentially the 2009 version used in the VX40 Camry. 2010 and up have since fixed this.

Outside of rebuilding the engine, it has to be monitored. You'll also need to change the sparkplugs more often as well as they will get fouled up; instead of your normal ~80-100k replacement cycle, it's going to need to be done at ~60-70k, and inspected on a somewhat regular basis.
