Since July 2014, I have put over 51k miles on my QX4 with the same annoying problem. It burns 1qt every 500-700 miles. Since I've owned it, I have tried Mobile 1 5w-30 high mileage synthetic (3.5 years) and now Valvoline MaxLife 5w-30 (blended) high mileage (2.5 years) with no change. I'm going to be switching from the FRAM oil filters to OEM Nissan tonight for my change. My question is, is this just how it is for the remaining life of my truck? The truck has been good and reliable, but this issue is rather annoying (especially because I hang onto hope that's it's an easy/doable fix).
How long can I keep this strategy going for? Is it what it is as this point?
I'm considering switching to SuperTech 5w30 Conventional (not sure about high mileage or traditional) to see if there is any change.
