Default low engine oil light?

Wat up guys my 06 gs300 is always telling me I have low oil I recently put a quart and lights back on is it burning the oil? Or leaking? I haven't really had time to take the bottom plastic off and check anybody else having that same problem? Let me know thanks

If you were leaking you could tell regardless if the bottom pan is on the car. Check for blue smoke on startup at the tailpipe and monitor your oil level via the dipstick.

This was happening to me a few months ago. I was told theres a TSB about 06 3.0L engines drinking oil. They replaced my rings. My motor then seized 2 weeks later. Hopefully your dealership is better than mine.
