My So's father bought a new 2003 M45 back in February. I talked to him this weekend and he's just coming up on his first scheduled service at 7500 miles. In the first 7500 miles he's had to add 4 quarts of oil!
He told me it's slowed some since new new, the first 2 quarts went in less than 1500 miles each!
Every time he's topped it up with M1 so that's a good thing I think, and he did lodge a complaint with Nissan a few months back. He in no way thrashes the car and there are no leaks anywhere.
I did tell him I'd have changed the oil sooner, but I could offer him nothing more other than to tell him I'd post it to see if anyone else has seen this problem. Honestly, I'm convinced he's going to be stuck with a car that uses far too much oil and get the run around all the way until the warranty expires...
