1). What can expect going into the dealership today? (I know about the whole 1 qt. 1000 miles)
2). What is generally the course of action if they do determine that my engine is drinking oil?
3). Will this issue affect my resale value in the future (if they wind up replacing the engine??)

My car just turned 9,000 miles on it, and the problem has yet to stop...
Thanks!
If I recall correctly, You are NOT suppose to touch/check the dip stick. They (dealership) usually seal it or put a "DO NOT TEMPER" tape on the dipstick so that the owner of the car do not attempt to suction out any oil. They do the same with drain bolt as well. I'm just typing what I have read from the 06 350Z consumption tests. My

How long did it took you to accumulate 1000 miles?
