Started car today and oil warning cane on

[Sam B]

Sorry. This may have been covered before. But I started my Supra today (21 a91) and a oil warning came on the screen saying I need Toyota to do something w my oil. I have 2620 miles. Is this normal or is this the dreaded consuming issue

Is it just low? Mine drinks oil like crazy (about a quart every 1k miles)
Just add a quart and move on with life. I've accepted my place as a BMW owner...

There is NO way that is normal or acceptable on a brand new car.

Put a quart in and move on. Enjoy the car. It keeps doing it bring it to the dealer and document.

It's what I've been dealing with. Still on original 0w-20. Will upgrade to 0w-30 once I pass 10k miles

Never bothered to bring it in. Really don't want anyone touching the car unless shit hits the fan.

If it’s the oil consumption issue wouldn’t you rather have it fixed under warranty before it potentially gets worse?

Is that what it is. Or is it saying I need an oil change. I’m confused. Is that the message everyone is getting w oil consumption issues

Nah it just sounds like a headache. Never seen anyone legit been fixed, only engine replacements. Which is a hell no from me. Car won't ever be the same once some monkey tech starts tearing it down to that level.

Should be pretty obvious. This is what it looks like for me when I run low. I’m on my 4 quart in the last 5k miles

Ok. Now I understand. And I’m definitely sorry that is going on. That’s horrible.

Seems like you're just due for an oil change.
