He would not be the first, with a Non Revup DE motor, to experience OC.. A close friend had the same problem with his '04.5..

OP, have you read the PCV thread? its a $20 part that may help you (only if your warranty is denied)

I have seen/heard/read about very few non-revup cars with OC problems, and all those cars were running synthetic oil.

OP - is this with synthetic oil?

 

I've heard rebuilding and using 07 altima piston rings have solved the problem for them

 

I havent read the PCV thread. I will look into it though.

Yup synthetic oil.

 

I was just wondering what are the chances that built motors can also have catastrophic oil consumption problems? Is the OC chance moderately reduced since the forged internals are stronger? As far as i know the design flaw in these motors is with the piston rings which causes the major OC, so replacing the stock internals with forged internals should prevent this problem from reoccurring correct?

 

The fact that an aftermarket piston or rod is forged has nothing to do with oil consumption. Oil consumption is the result of clearances within the engine which are set by the person who puts the engine together.

 

Looks like OP and I are in the same boat and looking at a similar course of action to fixing our engines.
