Description of the problem	We returned from a trip to reno/california in my toyota rav 4. I had decided to wait until i returned to change oil since there was only about 3000 or less on the last change,. When we returned and nearing our destination, the oil light came on. In checking the oil, no oil showed on the dipstick. I took the car in for service including changing the transmission oil (about $600 ). A couple of weeks later, i checked the oil and it was down 1 1/2 quarts. I now still have about 2000 miles to go before my car needs another oil change and it was again low and another quart was added. Per my research i find that toyota has known about this problem and sent out info to dealers in 2011 to fix the problem if it is still under warranty. According to what i've read, it requires a piston to be replaced. Toyota has totally ignored this problem and i find that it seems to be common on rav4's.
