Oil Consumption PARANOIA?!?!?!?!?!

gleonard · 12-20-2011, 03:21 AM

I have about 24k miles on my 09. Put 2 quarts in between my last oil change and the one I had done yesterday. Told the dealership about it and they are having me come back in 1k miles to check oil levels to determine if there is an oil consumption issue. I was told they'd replace the engine if it's eating oil.

OP: As someone who has had his short block replaced, just drive it for awhile and if it needs a replacement Nissan will. I may have a second OC problem, as I am still using oil. It slows with time and mileage. I still have months to go on my warranty.

Do not forget that the engine warranty is 60,000 miles (I think).
