When I checked my oil initally, it was right at the H, a little over-filled.

The difference from H to L on the stick is just a level indicator. It does not measure the total 5 quarts in the sump. Just the top 1-1.5 quarts..Some misinterpretation here methinks..
1/4 down (or 3/4 up from low) is 1/4 quart or so. An overfilled engine will burn more oil so it's really hard to tell what is actually going on. This is hardly a scientific consumption test at this point.
There's really no point in arguing....He's using more then
NONE but (considerably)
LESS than it will take for Nissan to consider this an issue. When you start seeing a quart or more disappear in a thousand miles or less they will look harder at it..
