Oil Consumption
Hi BCH,
Best to get it done at a Nissan dealership and ask them to measure what has gone in. Doing this helped move the process along for my vehicle as Nissan wants 3 oil consumption readings before they will do anything (charged me £11/litre). Good luck...

This was making me paranoid so I checked mine. First time I've checked my oil levels in between services in about 10 years/500,000 miles !
So, car has covered just shy of 3800 miles from new ( March 17 reg'd) and the oil level was about half. Went with bartw suggestion and up to Nissan I went. Topped up 1 litre and recorded the mileage, with an instruction to go back after 3000 miles for another check. Charged me £9.30.

Update:
Dropped my car in last Monday for an engine inspection after the 3 oil consumption measurements required by Nissan. Received a phone call on Wednesday to say the engine was being replaced (short block) and picked my car up this morning. Will be monitoring the oil closely for the next few months....

Checked mine today after reading this thread. 8k miles and oil was just above the minimum mark. Like nottmsteve, I haven't checked oil level between services for many years. I've got an 800 mile round trip coming up next week so just as well I checked. Consumption obviously not as bad as some but I will mention it when it goes in for service.

Would be useful if people who write in this thread mention the car production year/month if possible.

It shouldn't be using that much oil.

I have been monitoring my oil consumption and it has now used 7 litres in 10,500 miles.
It is booked in at Nissan for investigation.
