I've seen that oil consumption note on almost every vehicle I have owned lately.Here's a couple of notes from the manual for people tracking their trucks and people who start refueling their hybrid truck and go in for a bite to eat.
Oil Consumption note:
You can drive high performance vehicles in such a way that may lead to higher oil consumption including extended time at high engine speeds, high loads, engine braking, hard cornering maneuvers, track and off-road usage. Under these conditions, oil consumption of approximately 1 quart per 500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible. Check the engine oil level at every refueling and adjust to maintain proper levels to avoid engine damage.
Hybrid refueling note:
Complete the refueling process within 20 minutes. If 20 minutes elapses, press the button on the left side of the instrument panel again.Fuel pump nozzle automatic shut off could occur if you do not press the button on the left side instrument panel.
Sounds like the hybrid has some kind of fuel escape protector in the fuel like.
I don't think I have ever taken anywhere near 20 min to fuel. Lol
