They will replace the shortblock under warranty. This is a known problem with the VQ37HR, and they shouldn't give you any BS.

It should have nothing to do with the brand of oil.

Miraculously, I either lucked out or did well with my break-in -- zero oil consumption for me. Over 31K on the odometer.

I check the level about every 2-4 weeks.
