370Z oil consumption

Maybe this has something to do with it.

I heard that low friction DLC just makes the oil 'slip' past the valve seals and burn off more easily

This is not a problem of DLC, this is normal for all (0W60), 5W30 winter & summer oils that are put inside the engine because of a world wide climate selling strategic desicion because of a cheap purchase deal for this oil. This oil has a higher consumption if the engine is not hot (often short track driving MacDonald disease.. i have the 2 fast and 2 furious pick up tool ever..joking ) . Its only normal temperature tolerance with high viscosity oil.. physics ..thats all. That means not that this viscosity is a bad choise, it only has a higher consumtion than a 10W40 (allowed in the 370z german service manual) in the cold start phase..thats all. Of course its the best choice for the manufacturer.. But if you read the nissan bulletin..there must be a production issue too.. and that is not acceptable...
P.S. this funky oils kill the mass flow senor faster if you have a turbo engine and a high rpm longtime abuse driver in cold start phase and some age on the turbo bearing..selfdestruction procedure with the knowledge gap blubbering forum users...the preference dividend of the tuners (colored pullys)
