Excessive oil consumption?

See this is what I'm afraid of... my short block installation will most likely be completed today but there is no guarantee this will even fix the problem.

If it still consumes oil, get another engine. You are not on the hook for a faulty motor.

Just remember, as others have mentioned, that oil consumption during the first 5000 miles is normal. It should be significant at first and slowly die down to practically nothing.

I'm still consuming over a quart per thousand miles @ 50k on the odo. Went through the same thing with my '06 350z with the rev-up engine, which was notorious for oil consumption issues.

Just feels like another typical Nissan experience.

That sucks, what oil are you using/used? Switching to something with a higher flash point would help.
You can also get the oil tested and see if anything usual is going on.

How does this help? If it's oil blowby, then that's the source of the problem.
