Default Another oil-sucking 2009 Z

I checked my dipstick the other day and was shocked to see how low I was on oil. Immediately I added 2 quarts to bring me back over the "low" line, and then I snooped around under the car to check the oil pan, filter, plug, etc... all bone dry. The oil was changed less than 5000 miles ago and IMO a car with less than 50k on the odometer shouldn't use 3 quarts in that distance.

So it seems I've got the dreaded oil consumption problem that I've been reading about on here, and I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since my car is an 09. I contacted the (Ford) dealership where I bought the car and a 2-year extended warranty, and they told me to take it to Nissan and proceed from there. This is going to be fun...

Thoughts? Advice? I have receipts from my oil change 5k miles ago as well as the 2 quarts of 5w30 synthetic I had to add.
