[QUOTE="Ray, post: 4497, member: 2008"] Bought a 2010 Prius V in Feb with 100,424 miles on it. I checked oil after 3,000 miles of use and discovered oil level was below the bottom mark. Told my salesman about it and was told to schedule inspection with Service. I had to add 2 quarts to get it to the top mark on oil dip stick. This blew me away that this much oil had disappeared or leaked from motor. Service checked it out to find no leaks. Service told me to return after 1200 -1300 for a check on the oil level. I advised Toyota and got case number, as someone recommended above. Toyota gave me no encouragement and said warranty was 60,000 on the car. I will wait to see what dealer says at oil level 12k inspection. Imagine going at this rate of consumption with a change interval of 10,000 and using 6 quarts of oil in a 4.3 quart oil reservoir in the Prius. Toyota need to step up, as this is major issue. I always had a good feeling on Toyota. What a bummer. [/QUOTE]
