Ouch on the consumption. I made sure my engine was not having consumption issues before I put the SC in the car.

I also fill mine up to the upper H circle.

My engine always ran hot. would hit 240° just tooling around the beltway at 65 to 70 mph in light traffic. I also put in an oil cooler when I did the SC. now my temps are around 205° most of the time. Though the 100°+ temperatures around her have pushed it up to 220° in light traffic.

Sounds like you will need an oil cooler, good luck with the oil consumption test. Hope they get Nissan to swap in a new motor for you...
