I did a search on this and couldn't really find anything on it. My car is losing about 1/4 quart of oil after only a couple of days. Is anyine else having this problem or does anyone know why this is happening.

What kind of oil/filter are you using? Have you ever had an oil diagnostic test done? Some people lose up to a quart of oil in 5k miles if they use synthetic

hey bro im losing oil too, like after 1000 miles when i go around turns my oil light flashes, so i took it to nissan and they want me to come back in 300 miles to see if my car is burning oil. If its burning oil they said im getting a new engine, buut i did have nitrous on my car, so im thinking that might have somthing to do with it

I think that you already know the answer: the car is either leaking or burning oil. Neither is good.

I'm using synthetic oil.

In one of my other vehicles manual it said oil consumption is normal. It would be odd if it consumes oil if you don't drive it hard maybe. I'm no expert on oil consumption though.
In our manual, section 8-10 Maintenance and do-it-yourself (Engine Oil) it says "It is normal to add some oil between oil maintenance intervals or during the break-in period, depending on the severity of operating conditions.

Take it in for a consumption test. I am on my 2nd test...LONG STORY...and I am at a rate of about 1qt every 1k miles.
