Get a compression test to see how much life the engine actually has.

Drinking oil isn't the end of the world, just top it off weekly, it's not uncommon to suck 2 quarts per oil change if the rpms are high.

Low compression however....

Hell when my car was on the track every other weekend one summer I went through 5 quarts during an oil change interval 😁 compression is great and it runs just fine. I should probably do an atmospheric PCV on track days though because the engine drank every drop.

I have a catch can on the sealed PCV system, atmo is basically plugging where those hoses go into the intake tract and putting a breather filter on the other end of the hoses so they can atmospherically vent off the crankcase vapor.

Yeah the catch can stays on regardless, having an atmospherically vented system makes a big oily mess in your engine bay because the oil vapor coming out of the breathers sticks to everything. That's really the only downside, other than the potential fine for deleting emissions equipment.

got any pics of your whip im just about to do an oil change in my car rite now and swap oils to see if that helps with the burning. While i have the cover off gunna do a inspection for leaks on the under side.

just a question for you. What km intervals are you doing oil changes ? I see no oil leak on this but i do have what appears to be water coming from the tail pipes. Maybe im just burning so much oil because of the oil amd driving hard! Anyway wish me luck going to swap this oil . Did a 2 hours inspection jacked up i got nothing dripping. Oils gott

I use conventional oil and stick to the 3750 mile engine oil change interval that Nissan recommends.

Water out the tailpipe is normal, condensation builds up and comes out as steam/droplets. It goes away once the exhaust is fully up to temp.

Poor quality fuel can also cause excessive water in the tailpipe. Not sure what your Canadian options are but I stick to Exxon usually.

well i didnt find any leaks or anything that looks bad . I was actually suprised at how clean it was underneath maybe it just burns alot of oil or maybe from driving it hard and down shifting lots .

I've only ever used premium 91 octane in it thats the best fuel here. Where are you located? Coupdnt find the pics im a noob to navigating the forum.
