also, the rpm in neutral is always at 550-600 after warm up.
Does anyone has the same issue?

Your engine will consume oil during the initial break-in. While the "official" break-in numbers are under 2k miles, it's very common for the VQ35/37 to consume a bit of oil up to 7500 miles or so.
I wouldn't worry about it for now. Keep an eye on it. If it's still consuming past 10k, check the chart on the TSB to see if it's at an "acceptable" range or not.
The idle level should be right around 600/650 if the AC is off. As long as you don't notice any bogging or stuttering, I wouldn't worry about it.
