I have a 2006 5AT btw.
It's called a "dip stick". Wait a good 20 minute after you turn off your car before you check.

Yeah? And not all 6mt rev up have oil consumption either. Just google VQ35DE oil consumptions.

Cars like Altima, Maxima, Quest, etc etc. All report oil consumptions. So Nissan has been aware of this since 2002, and they refuse to do anything about prevent it.

Also, there have been a few report of the Non-Rev Up G burning oil. Search this thread.

The dealer billed Nissan/Infiniti 10 grand when they swapped in a new motor for this issue on my car.-That's what the service manager told me anyway.

If it's still under powertrain warranty, go for it. I'm in the same boat as well, might pick up a 05 rev up sedan. I wonder how many "rev ups" actually have oil consumption. Worst comes to worst, rebuild your motor.
