This is the third time I am having this issue, previously once it was close to service so dealer just added the oil and few months ago it happened again and I did the 1200 mile test where the dealer measures the burn rate, nothing came out of that. Finally I had it last few days, it was flashing intermittently and I took it to the dealer and they added 2.7 quarts of oil and while I have 2500 more miles to go for the scheduled service. Looks like my engine is burning oil. I don't have any visible leakages as my garage is clean. I will update after my second 1200 mile test. However I suspect nothing will come out it as I have few long drives planned and 1200 milestone will come up fast. I am having this issue if the time between the oil changes is more than 3 or 4 months. Anyone has similar experience? My car is 2007 LS 460L.

Sorry to hear about this issue you have, hopefully there isn't anything major wrong.
If I may ask, how many miles do you have on your LS?
Here is a link that may provide some guidance regarding your issue:

I go through a qt every 2200 miles. No leaks and no blue smoke. I have 80k miles on my car. There's another thread about oil consumption that others are experiencing here:

Has your car had the engine recall done?

I had the same problem, It would flash for a second and disappear. Found out the oil level was way below, Topped it up the next oil change and its been gone since. Its definitely the oil level.

Mine did it this weekend. I have to stay more on top of adding oil. I know there's an acceptable amount of oil consumption which is crazy if you ask me. I added a qt jus to get me by until next weekend. I'll do a full drain and fill. Normally my routine is to do a complete drain, change filter, and fill every 10k miles. At the 5k mark I top off the oil and reset the oil change alarm. I've started doing this when I started doing my own oil changes with full synthetic. I found out the dealer wasn't using full synthetic.

Thanks for the link, may be I have the same issue. I have escalated to the corporate and they are non-committal at this time and asking me to go through the test, which I am going through right now. I have 95K miles on it currently and noticed this issue right around 70K miles. I guess each time the light come on or close to coming on, I am due for service and the dealership is just replacing oil.

No, not done.
