First, fill it up with oil to the proper level.
Go ahead and drop the belly pan to check for oil leaks, but your oil leaks could be from cam covers/seals or the rear main seal…and they occur under load on the highway because your PCV system is frozen/clogged with mung and sludge and cause positive pressure in the crankcase rather than a vacuum…the positive pressure forces out oil while you drive, sometimes through seals and sometimes through crankcase ventilation…your engine simply burns the oil.
What exactly is the oil consumption in km/liter (since you're in Canada, eh?).

Use synthetic oil at specified weight recommended by the manual. Check for leaks and find out where all that oil is going.

Don't start that debate brother. Just make sure it's a full synthetic. I am going to run from my computer now before the oil debate explodes my hard drive and leaves my fingertips scalded….
