Just updating my oil consumption. So far it's been 5000 miles and there has been no oil consumption with the pennzoil platinum euro 0w-40. Previously I had used liquid moly and motul. Both of which burned oil. I have about 85k miles on the car. Original PCV, new plugs at 65k miles, needs a new SC clutch.

2018 at 55k km, lost about 1/3 of quart after 6000km. Has been on top of oil change always and done less than 10000km intervals. Decided to do an engine flush and changed the oil. It was pretty dark. I am going to change more frequently. There is no way this engine will last with 16000km OCI as recommended.

I'm looking hard at a Titan. They are tough as nails and come with a 10yr/100k warranty. I like the look and performance, and they're an exceptional value in that segment. I've also considered a Durango R/T, GX550, and an Armada. I have a pre-order on a Silverado EV RST, but at $110k+ I'm not sure I can swing that budget. Wife is pushing me to trade the Q7 and her Rogue on a new Armada for her, then I take some cash and go find a B7 RS4, or B7 S4 Avant. I like the premise, but I'm growing tired of constant "car stuff", with 2 young kids, and a successful career, I don't want to spend what little free time I have swinging wrenches to keep something running.
We're in the middle of a move from Louisville to Buffalo, so I won't be changing the car until at least the middle of the summer. Just keep it running until then, and I can decide if I really want to fix EVERYTHING, or just get out of it and into something else.

Yeap. Sadly it's the last year for them. Seems more people buy in that segment based on emotion than logic. I'll give Nissan marketing some credit for killing it as well, they haven't done anything to help promote it, at much of any level for several years.

Interesting - I really thought it was 5y 100k. I might need to dig into this

FYI- Nissan website says 5 years/100K. Still a huge warranty! Although I do wonder what a "limited" warranty entails
When you have a TITAN, you drive with confidence thanks to TITAN’s 5-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper limited warranty.

I think the limited part has to do with emissions control equipment, and body rust issues (those have separate terms at least).
I know my neighbor has had a high pressure fuel pump and a starter replaced on his without question. Evap canister cracked and was NOT covered, not sure if that was part of the limited portion, or because he cracked it driving like a crazy person on a job site. Hard to say with him.

20 K/year is easy to hit so the 100K warranty is HUGE! I just couldn't believe a legit Japanese carmaker would go 10 years/100K. Guess that shows how desperate Nissan was to crack the top 3 American trucks...and they still couldn't do it.
