Checked oil level after 2000 miles and it's a little over a half quart low. I'm not sure why it's doing much better this time. Last time I was way lower after 2500 miles

Well if it's any consolation, that is about what I'm getting on my '16 Nismo. However it presently only has 7000km on the Odometer and it's probably still breaking-in. Its always run on Nissan Ester oil from new (1st oil change done at 4000 km). I am planning to switch to Redline oil eventually which is an Ester-based synthetic or so I've read.

I wonder if Nissan Ester oil is very volatile and increases consumption. Anyone know?
