For those that do not know, the PCV system replaced road draft tubes which just expelled blow by gases and oil vapor to the atmosphere.

I was 2 qts low after 2500 miles.... I think that is too excessive. But I got my oil changed the other day and we'll give her another chance and see if she burns again. So I wonder if an oil cooler would help my consumption? Or I wonder if these 2009-2010 370z's just have a flaw in the motor that Nissan never told us about?
