The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

I suspect that unless you have a known leak.....valve /cam cover or oil pan, perhaps,
that you are suffering 'volitility'.....The oil gets hot and the easiest (light ends) part goes out the breather to the intake....Nothing is 'vented' any more to atmosphere....
What is your change interval? Live in a hot place? Run it hard?
We had an '07 Camry, subject to recall after dealer test. They made certain the oil was at the proper level than SEALED the filler and dipstick. They checked the oil in a certain miles driven. OUR Camry was fine, but if it mattered, I always used Mobil1 and a 5000 mile change interval. Car is owned by a friend now and is at around 200,000 miles and still running.
Modern NC Machining produces very good and tight tolerance product. It requires a thinner oil to get INTO some of those places....Additives should take care of 'the rest'.....being maybe 1/4 or perhaps 1/3 of what's 'in the can'.....
Too much is never enough
All tend to burn oil. It doesn't matter what kind of driving you do, they use oil and it's on the owner to check it regularly and fill when required.
My wife's car has port and direct injection, I check her oil at least once per week.
Well...I check the car's oil...

Nice Recovery!
Too much is never enough
...are far less prone to oil leaks, but higher oil-consumption nonetheless. This can be attributed to lower-resistance piston rings, and excessive heat due to turbocharging. In some cases, manufacturers are even warning consumers that 1 qt per 3000 miles is "normal".
Check your oil folks--even if you don't have a puddle or spots on the garage floor. Modern emissions controls will take care of the "blow-by" and evaporative losses, but you can still run the engine out of oil, if you don't change it or at least check and refill it regularly.
But then again, we are dealing with the general American public--they know where the ignition and fuel-filler door are, and that's about it, in terms of maintenance.

Hotter engines mean MORE volitility which is the light ends 'boiling' off......
I'd suspect somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 quart of a 5qt fill......
I qt per 3000? Strikes me as a lot....but I'll admit to NOT being current.....
Any blue smoke whatsoever? Even a 'puff' at startup?
