It varies. I burned 3 and a half quarts in under two thousand miles one time. And 2 quarts in under two thousand another time.

Sounds like you are having the same problem. My oil light never went on and the front end blew up and had to be rebuilt, even after that my oil was still burning and they put a new motor in and it is still burning oil. I am not talking about my dipstick being on L most of the time it was bone dry. I am talking with Nissan now on what to do. I will keep you posted.

My car has already had it's long block replaced at 8500 miles for high oil consumption. The new engine is no better it uses a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I am currently dealing with Nissan consumer affairs in hopes of getting a new vehicle. Can you imagine trying to sell this car with 3 engines having been in it. To add insult to injury my passenger side carpet gets wet after going thru a car wash since the motor replacement.

No,he doesn't.His dip stick was half way between the L & H mark,read your manual section 8.9 about checking engine oil level.

That's what a machine shop is for. Just because the dealer doesn't do the machine work doesn't mean they won't rebuild an engine.

just saying, it would make more sense for them to replace the motor, not rebuild it.

Nissan's policy is to replace the motor, and bring the damaged/failed motor back to corporate for analysis. They don't let their dealers rebuild engines, the grease monkey's don't receive enough training.
