I've had a similar oil burning problem like that before. Not a maxima but on a 240sx. I was able to solve it though... By swapping engines.
Sounds like your rings have been laid to rest. Rebuild it or swap it. That's the only way to solve that.

It's like every other day on this forum another 2002-03 Maxima gets cancer, and the prognosis is grim.

Are you in a position where you can do an oil change yourself? If so, thats what I would do. Oil change and filter. Also, how about a PCV valve? Was that changed as well? I might put a piece of cardboard underneath the car and see if you are leaking any. I'm assuming if you were leaking that much, you'd see a spot underneath, but you could throw a piece of cardboard underneath just to make sure.
