Yup, but it sounds like they're feeding you full of bull. Scottsdale Infiniti told me that if there is an oil consumption problem, they'll initiate a test. They'll do an oil change and seal everything off. Then, you take it back at 1k, 2k, and 3k miles (or so). At those points, they'll see how much oil it is burning. If it is 'excessive', the engine will need to be replaced.
I'm doing something similar to that. However, my service writer and technician KNOW that my car is burning oil excessively. They both talked to Infiniti Tech hotline and pushed to go ahead and have my engine replaced. However, they said that I still need to do an oil consumption test. But, I only have to take it back one time, either when the oil light comes on or 3750 miles pass. My service writer basically told me that my engine is going to get replaced, eventually.
