With use that high, I would investigate to find where its going...

Well both oil AND coolant are low...
If it were just oil or just coolant, lots of possibilities. Coolant gets high, then oil in coolant, oil cooler?

Oil could be AOS, coolant is either leaking in the trunk or leaking through cracked cyl head or head gasket.
