Nissan is only interested in making the engine last to the end of the warranty period. Then they are off the hook. Many here and myself included want to keep the car longer then the "limited" warranty. The comment about the oil consumption issue of the '06 is a valid point. No, I do not trust the engineers just bacause they work for Nissan. They are building a product to come in below a certain price and must make concessions. I don't want one of these concessions to be my engine which may be out of warranty by the time the high oil temps finally kill it. Nissan has advertised this car as a sports car and show it running hard. They need to step up and protect the engine with a cooler.
