When you talk about a engine "using" oil... to me, it is in the context of something unacceptable.

Sure engines USE oil, but one and a quarter qrts per 3000 miles isn't within reason. That is a lot.

My engine may consume less than a 1/4th qrt every oil change which is about 4000 miles.

Well after having a short block replacement done to my Z, I have been keeping a close eye on it. I still believe there is a problem with the heads as I'm still consuming oil. So after bringing it back I now have been told by a Nissan rep that 1 quart per 1,000 miles is acceptable! NO WAY, so after 2,000 miles of break-in (lol) I intend to document every 500 miles and if continues to consume oil I will be going back and demand a long block or lemon law. The mods that are on my car are the same as with the first engine and Nissan had no problem with them. It was also suggested that I go with 5-40 oil and add BG additive. Can anyone tell me what the original TSB list for max consumption.
