Description of the problem	Received a warranty enhancement notification (extended warranty) for the excessive oil consumption. Free fix. What a joke. They tell you to come in for the test, fill your oil to full and tell you to come back in 1200 miles. Twelve hundred miles later you go back your car is at low/add level, they add 1 qt oil and state and i quote "found that vehicle burned 1qt of oil in 1,241 miles. That is ok to toyota standards". That last line tells it all. If you do the math, at 5000 miles, which they tell you to come in for an oil change, there would be no oil left to change with a 4. 8qt engine oil limit. I couldn't believe toyota has such low standards. We have all toyotas in my household. With the we don't care attitude by toyota, we will become a honda household. I expected better, toyota standards have really deteriorated. Dontbytoyota. Com is available. Just may buy it to warn potential customers.
