Even hyper exotics are allowed to burn up to 1 qt per 1,000 miles and the manufacturer is off the hook.
Keep track every 1,000 miles of how much oil you are burning. If it is less than 1 qt/1K miles, there is nothing the dealer will do. (My 2nd 350Z was a notorious oil burner so I have been through this dance before) You will just have to keep adding oil. If it is more than that, then the dealer "should" (doesn't mean they will) do something about it.
Sorry.

Luckily for the OP, or anyone else who may be experiencing oil consumption with the VQ37, the information above is completely incorrect.

Please check the TSB issued for the VQ37 regarding acceptable oil consumption.

This is from Infiniti but it's basically the same thing as Nissan. The nissan one is on this site in the TSB section but I'm lazy.
