Description of the problem | Engine new used 1 qt of oil every 1200 miles. Oil consumption somewhat better with more miles, but still 1 qt/2500 mile presently with 21,000 miles on engine. Dealer said it was my driving habits and nissan/infiniti won't do anything about it unless it consumes more than 1qt/1000 mile. I followed factory engine break-in guidelines, i do not race my vehicle and dealer has done all factory scheduled oil services. Nissan/infiniti apparently is aware of this issue and apparently have a revised engine for warranty replacement, but my understanding, only if you consume worse than 1qt/1000 miles. My present oil consumption of 1qt/2500miles in my opinion, is unacceptable in today's standards and feel i should be entitled to this new revised engine for warranty replacement as well. *jb |
