Call me cynical, but I have come to the conclusion that it is very common for these engines to burn oil. I base that on my personal experience with three separate VQ engines. All three of my G35 engines were replaced after dealer sanctioned oil consumption tests. And trust me, Infiniti fought me every step of the way.
However, at this point I consider it just part of owning one of these engines. Many older Porches’ were known to burn a quart every thousand. It was the responsibility of the owner to monitor the oil level.
I suppose I could force Nissan to replace my 370Z motor but I just don’t have the fight in me anymore. I just make sure to monitor my oil levels religiously.
Op, your problem is that you don’t have the ability to conduct the oil consumption tests. You will have quite a fight on your hands to get a free replacement.
