Description of the problem	Have taken my car in 2 times to get the oil consumption test done and both times the dealer says it's within toyota's guidelines. The third time i called to have it done they told me i would have to pay so i just continue to add oil every 600 miles. I took to another mechanic they said this is not normal to burn this much oil and it's not leaking oil,they said they could pull the engine apart to tell me why it's leaking for $500. 00, but i wish toyota would fix the issue knowing there is one, and they have an enhancement warranty for the problem good until 10/2016, however, they say i'm not within toyota guidelines, the first time i even noticed this issue was after i had car serviced at the dealer prior to a trip i was making, my oil light came on my stick had burnt oil on it as it was bone dry. I added thinking the dealer just didn't do a good job, well come to find out, i have been checking and adding ever since. In between oil changes less than 3,000 miles oil light has come on and completely dry no oil registering on the dip stick.
