Here we go again...

They want me to bring t back in to check valve timing, and a few other things.. Well, I know its a load of BS, but the Dealership said Nissan techs stressed the importance of following the guidelines for break-in "strictly".. I assured them that after the first swap, I was sure to follow PAST the recommended timeframe to be sure this would not happen to me again, and here I am.
They didn't come right out and say it was MY fault, but they imply that its you and not the product.
I wonder if Nissan would do anything for me for my troubles!!!

Factory installed exhaust upgrade would be aaaiigghht......

wow, havent had a huge oil issue yet. it leaks a little, which is 100% more than it should...... but nowhere near 3 quarts. more like a half quart in 10k miles "i run full synth longer" as anyone knows you only really need to change the filter on a well treated well built engine. If you think otherwise, by all means please keep forking over your dollars to the oil fatcats.

The oil consumption isn't a huge problem by itself but it is a symptom of other problems, all very bad, and reason to say the engine is unacceptable as is.

For a new unabused engine it usually means the engine was improperly assembled or assembled with defective parts. And who wants to live with that.

You are an idiot

You obviously have never seen engine oil after its been run through an engine for 5K miles. It resembles nothing close to clean

Hopefully people really needing help will realize there are only like 10-12 people on this forum that actually know what they are talking about. The rest are just giving their unqualified opinions.

If I didn't change my oil every 3k but instead every 10k I would have 24 month oil change intervals. Not a good thing. The oil from nissan had been in the car for about 9 months 3k miles when I first changed it and it was starting to break down.

Again. Difference between conventional, half and full synthetic. Its all good, u dont have to believe me, do the ******* research yourself and stop being a consumer toolbag. I dont have to prove to u im right, but if you say so u should prove that im wrong. I gave a set of parameters. In a well maintained, well treated, well designed car with PROPER full synthetic oil there is absolutely no reason to change it every 10 feet. Keep being mentally retarded and forking over your money instead of researching the science behind how these things actually work. But think what u will, popular opinion doesnt mean "correct" but by all means if i were an oil industry i would want u too believe oil is the most fragile substance on the planet and MUST be changed every time you park your car or 6 kittens will explode.

i just think someone got anal raped by some big company one time and is still salty there was no lube, reach around, or kiss/cuddle afterwards.....

i mean just seems like thats the case since your take on full synthetic oil lasting forever is just completely asinine.

Random dude on the internet says its ok to have 10K+ mile OCI in spite of the manufacturer recommendations. You say you don't have to prove you're right, but you don't have any qualifications that permit you to make such a claim without proof. So please,

Next time I change my Mobil 1 at 5K miles, I'm going to mail it to you. I want you to look at it and tell me that you would be willing to put it in your engine and run it another 5K miles. Then, I want you to actually do it.

Heavy duty apprentice here and I do oil changes every 500-1000 hours of engine wear. I recommend the same for ANY combustion engine out there, diesel or otherwise. Asinine doesn't begin to cover your ignorance.
