Bought Tacoma Truck on July 28 2016.
On December 1 2016 had the 1st service. Rotate tires, check all fluids. Only 1947 miles.
The multipoint inspection said it was 1 quart low on the oil. OW20- SYN.
The mechanic says it is not unusual to loose a quart every 1300 - 1500 miles. It's synthetic oil. Watery and not
too thick.
What's up?
I bought a quart of oil to keep in the truck.

My driven hard and supercharged 2010 doesn't burn a drop of oil and I only use synthetic.
 
I have a 2015-4cylinder 4x2-tacoma. I do not burn a drop of oil. I also use OW20-SYN. may want to get a 2nd opinion from a Toyota Dealer to make sure you don't have any manufacturer defect or anything.
 
I'm the original post for this message. Went to another dealer and mentioned the problem. Is this a problem I asked him. Response Yes and No. Just check your oil level after two
tanks of gas.
This doesn't sound normal.
