VQ35DE engine code, I believe. Seems to really go through a lot of oil. Like 1qt/1000miles. I've never had something that used this much oil. The guys on a Maxima group say it's normal for these engines. I bought an oil catch can and will be installing it inline with the PCV valve hose to see if the oil is coming through there. A little research says the PCV location just sucks the oil right into the manifold and cylinders. Otherwise do you guys have any thoughts or advice?
Last oil change was with Mobil1 5w30 according to the window sticker. I was planning on using Syntec 0w40 since I have a couple 5qt jugs, but now I'm leaning toward Pennzoil High Mileage 10w40 or something similar. I don't want to burn through an extra 5qt jug of the castrol throughout the OCI, and was thinking maybe a high mileage oil would help clean the rings if they are sticking.
