In July 2015, I found engine oil level was dropped to the bottom of the dipstick when doing the maintenance. The Toyota Service staff never notified me about this problem during the past five years of maintenance. Then, they suggested to do a oil consumption test for 2000 km. The test report said the vehicle consumed 0.4L/2000 km, which was acceptable and no fix was suggested. The staff suggested me to keep eyes on it and top up when necessary. I didn't think too much about it and accepted.
At first, I topped up 1L oil once every 2 months. Now, I have to top up once every two or three weeks. I estimate the oil consumption is about 1L/2000 km now. I found it is becoming more and more annoying, and wondering if this problem will damage the engine and how much to pay to fix this problem if necessary. Also, did the Toyota Service staff cheated on me to avoid fixing my vehicle when it was still under the 5yrs warranty?
