I had a Saturn which burned a quart of oil each 1000 miles from the time I had put 5000 miles on it from new, and Saturn said that was within their criterion of being normal, so if you are using a quart each 2000 miles with the number of miles you have on your RAV, I wouldn't be too concerned. You might switch to a heavier weight oil, but that could reduce your gas mileage somewhat and you still probably would be burning at least some oil. Another remedy would be to have the engine rebuilt, but if it's otherwise in good condition you can delay having that expensive repair done.
