03 maxima oil burning
I just recently bought an 03 maxima. Its has the 3.5l. I really like the car, but at startup it smokes for about 30-45 seconds then clears out. I go through about 2.5 quarts every 400-600 miles. I have had the valve covers replaced. It does not leak any oil. Anyone else have this issue?

The fix would be to delete the precats, and re-ring the pistons. Can be done by yourself, but will take a lot of time. Best route to go is to buy a used engine and swap it in. Just make sure it too isn't burning excessive amounts of oil.
With the amount of oil your car is burning, buying a used engine is the best thing for you at this point in time.

You know that's what it seems like here in my 2001 - 150xxx miles.
No misfires yet but a bit of sputtering.
I don't notice any oil missing but the idle is a bit rough.
How many miles do these Maxima' s go before this oil consuming issue?
I was under the impression these cars run right through 200,000 miles before they begin going downhill.
I'm only at 15xxxx.
