Description of the problem	2008 toyota camry, purchased new in december 2007. First oil change done at 2500 miles, at which time switch was made to mobil 1 5-20w synthetic. Oil changes done since then at approx every 5500-6500 miles. Noticed early july 2012 when doing routine oil check it was almost a quart low. This was the first time ever noticing any oil consumption between oil changes. No oil noted around exhaust pipe, no oil leaks apparent in engine or on garage floor. Late july, after oil change at 76,220 mi, until the next oil change approx 1. 5 qts of oil were added. At that next oil change late nov 2012 (81,788mi) it was still almost a quart low. Oil consumption does not seem to occur at all until after first 2500 mi are driven on new oil. Also seems to have slowed some during the winter months: only added 1 qt from late nov until recently changed on 3/23/13 at 87,500 mi. At this time it was again almost a quart low at oil change. Yesterday, with a little less than 3000 mi on the car since the last oil change (on 3/23/13, 87,500 mi) i added half a quart of oil. We have 2 other, but older, different model toyotas and neither uses oil.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
