Oil Burning Again?
Anyone else noticed this?
11 max w 130k miles and oil change every 4K miles using 5x30 Castrol synthetic blend since day one. Noticed about a half quart under from the drain and pour back into jug. Hhhhhmmmmmm. Your 2 cents please. Topic says “again” as I had the 05 and the oil burning was horrendous once I hit 150k miles |
Is that counting the oil from the filter too? If yes you will never get all the oil of the filter. Your vehicle has 130k on it so a little oil consumption would be expected. Any small drips? I wouldn't worry to much about a half quart loss is 4K, just monitor it. If the next drain and fill shows more consumption then the last a problem could be developing.

i Kind of figured that’s the case.
My 05 burnt a quart every 2500 miles after I hit 170k. Didn’t know if Nissan remedied this issue for this generation. The filter oil also included Lucas maybe a use in next change. |
Half a quart every 4000 above 130k isn't horrible. Sure it would be nice not to burn anything, but considering it's 7 years old, you're putting well over 18000 on it a year, (average) seems to me you're doing Ok if all else seems to be holding up.
