No, I've owned close to 10 different cars (mostly used ones) prior to this 370. My 2005 Accord (I had since new)which has under 30,000 miles never burns oil because I do my own oil changes, and of course check the dipstick about once a month.
I thought if a NEW car, regardless if it's a sports car, truck or passenger car "burns" or consumes oil, then it means the engine isn't properly sealing i.e. the piston rings, gaskets, and the likes?
The only motor I know that consumes oil normally is a rotary and one with a lot of mileage.
I thought that maybe Nissan rushed this VQ37 (it is relatively new) just to introduce the 370...In other words, I thought Nissan botched or winged this motor for the sake of having a hot new model.
