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

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.
