Half way down dipstick = 12 mm
200 miles = NO GOOD

Again this is for the G37 TSB, but it's still not good and I would...

Definitely get it into the dealer and have them record on your service record that "Customer states that engine is consuming excessive amounts of oil' and request the dealer to start an oil consumption test. It's important that you have them record this ASAP on your service record. Call it a cya (cover your arse) for any future decisions from NNA (Nissan North America) to replace your engine.
