Come to think of it Nissan changed my oil last time. Wonder if they forgot to put the oil back in. Ohh that would be my luck right there. If that was the case then when I change the oil tomorrow and check it this 3k miles and it doesn't burn oil, then I will say this engine is remarkable. If not then I will be one pissed off person.
VQ35's are known to have oil burning problems, your car would NOT have made it 3200 miles with no oil in the engine. Better just change the oil and keep a quart or so in the trunk and check it every week and fill up as needed.
