 Description of the problemI change my oil every 3,0000 miles even synthetic oil recommends that 5000 miles are dealers recommended and car can run even longer on a full synthetic oil. But no matter what they say i change mine every 3000 miles. For last many oil change i find my oil level to be very very low. I mean almost 1 and a half court down, in less then 30000 miles. Funny thing is i put half court of oil between the 3000 miles driven on oil changes. So theoretically it was 2 qt down from oil. This problem i started to notice around 60,000 miles on the engine. There is no leaks. I have good understanding of cars as i have worked on honda accords and camrys from older models. I have changed steering pump to gaskets to speed sensors and many more on cars. I can assure that this car does not have any leaks except for oil pan get slightly wet around the bolt area because of perhaps needs a seal or new bolt. In total that oil wont add up to more than 10-20 drops in total through out the time of oil change if that. This extreme amount of engine oil burnout seems like a common problem with this car. Too common to believe it was made by toyota. Im very surprised as to why toyota won't recognize as their fault. (well not really that surprised).
