Description of the problem	I own a 2005 nissan 350z anniversary edition. It is burning oil at the rate of about 1 quart per thousand miles. Nissan internally is aware of the problem, but won't fix my car. I have been following their protocol and having an oil consumption test conducted, however, the last time i took the car to the dealership, classic nissan in orlando, florida, to continue the test, they sabotaged the results and lied about the findings. Since the previous oil change, i have driven 2,440 miles. The car was virtually out of oil - i base this on checking the dipstick after the car had been sitting for over 10 hours, and oil hardly registering. Prior to taking the car to the dealership, i added 1 quart of oil so the engine wouldn't seize. The dealership said they drained the oil and took over 5 quarts of oil out of the car. Draining the oil is not part of nissan's protocol for an oil consumption test. The dealership acknowledged verbally that the engine is bad. Everytime i take the car in, they write on my receipt that the car is operating within accepted standards. I have requested the test be started again. I told the dealership that from now on, they will conduct the test in my presence to i can verify the results and when the dipstick shows virtually no oil, they will drain what is left in my presence. There are many postings on the internet about this problem. Nissan hasn't issued a tsb, but are aware of the problem. The problem exists on the altima and sentra. The altima's were recalled, according to the tech at the dealership.
