Default Catalytic converters and oil

Originally I only thought to check my oil at 500 miles because of high oil temps (245* during break in under 4000 revs). I was down 3/4 qt. down another 1/2 at 1000 miles, now 2 1/2 qts at 1800.

Nissan is having me drive another 1500 miles to see if I have an actual problem. With all that additional hydrocarbon going through my catalytic converters, will they be compromised?
