For several years now, I've noticed this engine uses oil, its not smoking or leaking it on the driveway. The simple solution is check the oil at every gas fill and keep a 5 quart bottle in the trunk area. I'm going thru about a quart a week doing 40-150 miles a day.
I use synthetic oil to minimize the buildup in the engine.
Its annoying but adding oil each week is far cheaper than buying a newer car
