^ well said. They have to start the test the right way and that would mean they fill it up on day one. Doesn't matter if Joe Schmo filled it up yesterday or 6 months ago, they have to make sure the proper amount and correct oil is in the engine. Makes sense to me.

As far as the Oil consumtion test goes. I assume you have to pay Nissan for the oil changes that they do though. And $40 is a STEAL of a deal for oil if that is what they will be charging for each oil change interval. But I question if it's Nissan Esther oil? I would check into that. (it's usually over $90 at the Nissan dealers from what I have seen, I do my own...)
