Anyone know if these cars burn oil?

My car started to act funny in low gears when cold. Started making crazy noises from the engine. I noticed when hitting the breaks, the oil light would come on for a sec. That right there told me the oil has to be low, so I checked it.

Sure enough, it was 3 freaking quarts low. I rely on my friend who is the mechanic to enter in the computer when to bring the car in for an oil change. It did seem like it was a long time, so I checked the computer and it had no entry. So I have no idea how long its been. But I dont think its been longer then 10k miles. I have never had a car eat up 3 quarts in my life!
