Description of the problem	I have a toyota rav 4 (2008), which i love. It has been a wonderful car. No real problems to speak of. But at around 146,000 miles i was surprised to see my oil light come on 1/4 of the way through my regular maintenance schedule. I added oil and made a mental note to bring it up to my mechanic. Another 1/4 of the way the oil light comes back on. I had to add more oil. My car has 149,000 miles on it now. I have had my car in for maintenance every 5,000 miles since i bought it new. It is now burning about 1 quart every 1200 miles. This just happens to be the amount that toyota calls a problem and excessive, but my car is out of warranty. I was hoping to keep my car for several more years. This is very disappointing, especially since people have always said
