Mine "used" more oil with M1 10W-30 too. I am in Texas and switched to 15W-50. Consumption is lower, maybe a quart per 3k mi.

My indy worked at the Lexus dealership, maintained a lot of LX450s and said many trucks used oil even when new. Not to worry too much.

I would definitely do some analysis with the different oils and viscosities before declaring it needs serious work.
