Nissan has finally accepted the fact that some of the new rev-up motors are burning oil. (Almost 2+ years of fighting with the dealerships). However, Infiniti is still dragging their feet and refused to admit they have a problem.
Good news for oil consuming engines, after 2 years of fighting with the dealer and Nissan North America (NNA). NNA finally released a Technical Service Bulletin that will now take only a visit to the dealer to record an oil fill (top off) plus one more visit maybe two, for a look up on the Oil Consumption Chart to determine if the engine is to be replaced at the dealer level. In the past there was this long agonizing painful process of arguing with the dealer and NNA to accept responsibility of a mechanical defect in the engine, that 1 qt per 1k mi was unacceptable. Today the dealer have a guidelines set forth for all dealers to comply with, not to mention we now have the same chart.
