Seems like slightly too much IMO, if that was normal that would mean like over 1 litre of oil consumption in 6k/7k ish miles which is roughly a regular service interval, hence why I think it seems excessive perhaps.
Will let the more experienced b58 gurus here chime in - from what I read, 2021s seem to be the most likely to have excessive oil consumption shenanigans.
Is it stock? Any track use? I expect these questions might help get more reliable answers

Hi, I think the manual specifies a certain amount of consumption is normal. Iām away from my owners manual and canāt confirm right now. But I believe the manual will claim itās normal even if many pundits will disagree. Itās hard to objectify how much is normal oil consumption though.

Worrying about oil consumption is a vital step in your journey as a Supra owner 
There are many threads, probably a few thousand posts, and zero consensus on what's okay and what means your engine is seconds away from imploding. Some cars seem to be oil-thirsty for a while and then chill out, some are perfectly normal, and a rare few require scary warranty engine work. Look for the main thread where many smart people have posted about their experiences and advice.
I think the '20s are generally pretty good. Did you buy it used, I assume?

Had my 2021 for almost 2years now, regularly change the oil every 6000 miles. I need to add a quart about 3000 miles. Car now has 30k miles on it for reference. To me, this isnt a big deal. Every car is slightly different. I had 2015 s550 mustang GT that drank oil almost faster than the gas I filled it with. I didn't keep that car long. After the mustang had a 2018 Challenger Scatpack, that car was mechanically flawless and I put 100k hard miles on it.

I have read the owner's manual quite thoroughly and unfortunately I have to say I didn't find this info in there.
It simply says that the electronic function to measure the oil will tell you when/if to add oil, but there's no 'normalization' or figures on oil consumption.
Maybe, just maybe, I vaguely recall there might be a couple of lines on this regarding the break-in period, but then again this would not be valid for the OP as the car is not new anymore.

BMW states it's normal to need a top off after 1000-1200 miles, dependent on driving style, iirc. I've had oil consumption a couple of times, but I just top it off and move on. I'm going by the BMW manual where it's not this crazy scary broken pos thing, or w/e. BMW says it's normal to see it.
What I can't explain is why some do and some don't. I've seen theories, but nothing definitive, and I don't expect it.
Have they added anything to the new user manuals? I'd think after a couple of "lemons" (or wasted Supras) they would update the manuals or something.
