2012 370Z burning oil

I had to go through the same thing. The first dealership I went to about my '06 Rev-Up eating oil told me that 1qt per 1k miles is acceptable. They didn't have much to say when I asked why, then, would Nissan suggest up to 7500 miles between oil changes.

They even went so far as to overfill the engine by a quart during the oil consumption test. On moderate acceleration, oil would spew out of the dipstick and onto the block, giving me a nice smoke show. Pretty cool, huh?

Luckily, the next dealer I went to went ahead and replaced the short block. Problem solved.

I'm going through it again now, though- about 1qt every 750 miles.

I'm personally not going to be that sad to be the VQ35/37 go.
