Someone asked what the mm chart represented as far as quarts and the answer is 8mm is approximately a touch more than 1/4 of a qt. The amount of space between H ~ L is 30mm, between the hash marks is 24mm.
Most people don't understand that dealerships would love to replace your engine as they get paid by Nissan for warranty work. When I had my engine replaced in my 04 G, I had no problems with getting a replacement block and that year vehicle DID NOT have a TSB to cover oil consumption.

Dealerships and their employee's get paid a lot less for warranty work, and that takes away from money they could be making doing non-warranty work, and if they have too much warranty work, it looks bad to corporate. They are not clamboring to replace your stuff. You just got lucky/found a great dealership that went to bat for you.
