TSB for oil consumption on the VQ37VHR.

That does sound excessive. I believe the TBS test states >10mm oil loss on dip stick after 1000-1350 miles is a fail.

Check the TBS, that will give you the answer.

The thing is I put 5.15 qts of oil in there. Shouldn't it be in the middle or near the full dot? When I checked the oil level after my oil change it was at the full dot. But I put the recommended amount of oil which should make it in the middle I guess? Thanks again.
