Not all small 3-cylinder engines require less oil. It depends entirely on the engine design and construction. A high-revving small displacement 3-cylinder engine could require more oil than some small displacement 4-cylinder engines.

The Ford Fox 1.0L 3-cylinder Ecoboost engine has a big oil sump that requires 4.5 liters of oil. That's about a liter more oil than Honda's L13/L15 engines for its small cars.
