for a heads up, there should be easy evidence of wear and tear cause by neglect, i.e. piston wear, ring problems, lifter wear and cam shaft wear. if you have taken care of the vehicle, not saying either way, as to not get involved, there would be easy evidence of neglect with a simple visual check and possibly a compression test.
I am not a certified mechanic but have been able to come to these conclusions in another life.
I am sure some of our mechanic's here could advise you how to proceed to find this information out
Good luck on this seriously. I would even take it to another dealer, one that has a service manager willing to search out the problem before drawing conclusion.
One major question I have is where is the oil going if no leaks, and i am sur eyou would have seen blue smoke out of the tail pipe if you were buring it out or had that wonderful oil burn smell if there was a leak out of the engine compartment.
