Just keep adding oil as it consumes it. That model year of the RAV4 was known to have an oil consumption problem. As long as you keep the oil level topped up, you should be fine.

Stick to what recommended in your car user's manual.
Yeah stick to what’s written in the owner’s manual or oil cap. And keep adding as & when necessary.
1.I am using castrol 10w-40 engine oil.
Shouldn't it be 5W20? What was written on the oil cap?
2.i saw in sparkling plug holder a bit engine oil leaking.
If you saw oil in the spark plug tubes, you need to change the valve cover gasket and spark plug seals.
4.now for Every 200km(run) i am toping up(adding) around 300ml to 400ml engine oil.
Unfortunately, there is not much you can do unless you go for rebuilding the engine.
