I love my RAV4, but the excessive oil consumption has gotten progressively worse. I passed an oil consumption test by the dealer in 2016, but I think the oil used may have contributed to it not passing. I was using full synthetic. I want to keep a loyal customer, but not if Toyota doesn't want to assist. This car shouldn't be burning this much oil. Just had oil change using full synthetic and after 2,000 miles the oil light came on. I was 3.25+ quarts low! For the last 30,000 miles. I have to keep oil container in the car to refill in between oil changes.
