im wondering if it is normal for the 06 GS300 to consume a quart or two in between 5000miles oil changes??
is it normal to add oil in between 5k miles oil changes to add oil to keep the level above minimum??

im fairly new to this car..

how many miles you have on the car? what is your driving style aggressive? normal? kaotic?!! .... i say thats not normal espicially for a 2006 model year....the car seems to burn out too much oil....

The engine is the V6 that Lexus sprinkles in many of its models. My experience with an RX300 of 1999 (purchased 2003 with 45K miles, now 75K miles) is that I have never had to add oil between 5000 mile oil changes. FWIW!

My 2006 GS300 RWD has 88000 miles on it, and doesn't burn a drop between oil changes.

Nor does mine. I have 57,000mi on my clock.
However, depending on who you talk to, some "experts" will say that this is an acceptable consupmtion of oil.
Have you looked to see if there are any oil leaks or weeps? Do you have any hint of blue smoke especially upon start up?

The oil has to be going somewhere.

If you haven't been doing quarter miles for that 5k then I would say it's abnormal cunsumption. Put a tracer in your oil and see where it comes out. You can also pull a plug.

I don`t know, just check my oil level and is the same thing. 2 month ago i add about 1/2 quart to make sure the level between the two dots and now is below bottom dot. I have no blue smoke in a mourning and engine is free of any leaks. May be it`s normal? Newer have oil check light. I will keep my eye on level now. How much exactly quarts should be in the you know? The oil I use Mobil 1.
