I am a bit concerned though about warranty. I have changed the oil 4 times so far -- the first change was performed at the dealer (at 2,000) and the other three by me. Nissan Ester was used the first two and Redline 5-30 the second two. Oh yes, I also change the filter at the same time as oil (K&N or PureOne). Is there going to be a problem, warranty-wise, because I performed my own oil changes?
I also have a GTM Motorsports 19 row oil cooler installed.
I appreciate your comments. Thanks and have a great day.

Unless you have an oil leak due to your cooler, Nissan shouldn't give you a hard time for doing your own oil changes or having the cooler. Neither would explain oil consumption in the absence of leaks. If Nissan did hassle you, I'd suggest you start moving up the chain and call Nissan North America.
