Oh, and I forgot to add this, but the Sequoia uses about 2.5 quarts every 5000 miles. That is ~5x more that my 6.2 does (and it’s forced induction!). I typically lose approximately .5 to .75 every 5000.
That's typical Toyota. They lost the class action lawsuit for excessive oil consumption on Camry/RAV4/Corolla/Matrix/Scion; as long as it's a monetary value they pay it and move on to their next victims. They typically settle and impose a non-disclosure agreement when they get sued, which to my knowledge has never been used by any American or European manufacturer. The Asian manufacturers profit on their reputation of "reliability" and not their product, and they'll do anything to protect it...including lying to the US Federal Government, which cost Toyota $1 Billion in their unintended acceleration fiasco. The fact that the lawsuit went public speaks volumes about how bad it was. To My only question is...why did she buy a Sequoia in the first place? It's literally worst in class in every regard.
