Im sure it is a good engine as long as someone looks after it and does scheduled maintenance. I would not put my wife in a nissan if it requires the oil checked every 1,000 miles. Really like the automobile but they are making it really hard. By my experience I have a 2006 chevrolet truck with 120,000 miles, I run 10w30 castrol, and I have never added oil to it one time. Not trying to talk bad about the japanese but it seems like the technology of foreign cars is coming to an end. I really like my automobile but all the talk I have heard before is not stacking up
You should get your car checked out/inspected by the dealership for oil consumption issues. That is definitely not a normal this for the Z or any other car. This is my 3rd Nissan car and I've never had any problems like that. One of them even had like 185k miles and was still running well. Definitely head to the dealership to get it looked at soon. Good luck
