Please tell me where I can find the TSB on oil consumption, my 09 is in the shop as we speak. It went into limp mode the other morning and the first thing I checked was the oil and it was 3 quarts low and I only have 2500 miles on it. I did mention this to the tech at Nissan and he also felt that it was excessive. I will find out more tomorrow.

I never went into limp mode, but 1.5 quarts in 1500 is the test. A little more perhaps during break in. I wish you luck, but it sounds excessive to me too.

Were you keeping your oil "Topped Off" ?
