If it's any consolation to you (and it probably isn't) Nissan wouldn't have accepted this as an issue when the car was under warranty. They needed a consumption of at least 2 litres per 1,000 miles before they would recognise it as a problem. Having no visible leaks and no smoke is also normal for these 'oil burners'. The oil just disappears.

 

Zmanalex's comments are spot on. In addition to this, and to further what you've already posted, I was told by an 'insider' who knew a great deal about these cars that the problem can become more severe at any point, so bear this in mind when deciding what to do.

 

My personal recommendation, for what it's worth - sell up and get an MY07 or something.

Thanks everyone for your advice will take if all in. Think I might do the oil change with the better oil and run it for a bit to check what it's like and if it's not changed anything I will trade it back to evens halshaw were I got it from simples ! I was really after modding the car and it don't want to spend££££ and then it blow up?
