rings or seals?

Hay guys

My 6th gen has been using oil for awhile now. Its used neally 1litre of oil in 1000km of driving its using it pritty nasty. I know rings are probably gone. But i was thinking a leaky hydraulic lifter-seal. Ive heard of these going and making a car go through oil aswell. Or doesnt maxima have these?

Cheers kurt

Ive heard a couple of 5.5 geners talking about the lifter seal issue on their cars. Since the 5.5 gen and 6 gen use the same engine, its possible.
