quick question guys...

for those of us with 06 models, are we suppose to get our Oil Consumption test diagnosed before the 3yr/36,000mi point? or is it longer since its considered 'powertrain'? i'm at 34,000mi right now...

some things i've noticed after being here for a month:

- down here in SoCal, people drive like maniacs... i was doing 80 on the slowest lane and was still getting passed by guys doing 110+ and cops dont bother them
- Nissan service dept here have excellent service, not like the BS up in Seattle
- Z's are ubiquitous here.... I see an average of 3-6 Z's every time I take a trip in my car (regardless of length)
- must come to a complete stop a an intersection turning right... (I got a ticket the first week I moved here; fine is $400)

 

Alight! I'm convinced.... I'm moving down to SoCal. Dkorr, need a roomate?

 

when i was talking with a manager at infiniti of kirkland he was telling me how he wished more oil consumption issues would come in... and every nissan dealer ive ever been to i have had bad luck with .... soo if i could recommend anything it would be infiniti of kirkland to have them check it out or start your testing

 

i went to the nissan dealership in puyallup and they told me that as soon as i get back from deployment (in december) that i can come in and my 06 is still covered on the 60,000 mile powertrain...i guarentee im going to fail the test...BRAND NEW MOTOR FOR MEEEEEEEEEE haha

i go through about a quart every 1000 miles

 

Somehow I haven't paid much attention to the oil consumption issue. Maybe I should look into this. 30k miles but I have no reason to believe it is eating a lot of oil. Now I'm paranoid.
