Yesterday, it took 1 quart of oil to bring the level on the dipstick from the L side of normal to 3/4 of the distance between the L and H of normal after about 1,200 miles. I had a Nissan dealer do an oil consumption test around 25k and they said it was fine. Should I go to another dealer and push harder?

Do another one?

I know there is a chart somewhere here with the "acceptable" specs for burning oil
