You missed my point; I'm aware there's no recall (I meant in the near future) and that the oil temps may not be the specific cause, but we can agree that oil can vaporize at higher temperatures. I'm not saying 2xx degrees will cause oil to vaporize, but in conjunction with higher oil temperatues, consumption can eventually occur, which I'm assuming to be the culprit behind the 2,100 engine replacement.
All good though, I'd like some more in-depth info. I called Nissan, again, and I'm hoping some "tech" person will be able to give me some solid answers to some of the items you've mentioned.
