The only thing i can think of is it just burned up real fast for some reason, or Mobil 1 had a bad batch idk.
please help!

P.s. i filled up this time on Redline.

You need to be checking your oil more frequently......

1 qt per 3300 miles is just fine BTW.....

I believe you're supposed to put in 5 1/8 quarts.

Where's the oil?

That's the million dollar question a lot of g37/370z owners are asking.

I had my long block replaced @ 17k miles last week due to excessive oil consumption. The problem seemed to get worse as time went by.

Keep a close eye on your oil levels.

Hey Modshack is this really considered normal? When I first got my car Jan. 2010 the oil level was down about 1/8. Now at 2200 miles its down a full 1/2 Qt. The service advisors say it shouldn't burn any oil. BTW my car was assembled in Jan. of 09. during the course of a year it only aquired 350 miles until I bought it. I'm getting ready for the first oil change

The car is going to make you put oil in more than us cuz you cheated your county on taxes and make up the money that way. Karma.

Your service advisor is an idiot. Most cars will burn some oil during the break in period and even after. This could last to 10K miles in some cases. Internal combustion engines use oil, period. When it gets to a quart per 1000 miles or less you need to worry (and Nissan will likely do something about it)....Relax.
