Excessive oil consumption at 120k plus miles. The last two or three oil changes my car has required an unusual amount of oil. I've checked a few online forums and this appears to be an issue with Nissan vehicles. I had an oil change today and I confirmed that my engine oil was low and this was after 4k miles between changes.
