Infiniti Rev-Up Oil Consumption TSB

I dropped my car off yesterday morning and my loaner turned out to me a '10 G37 Sedan. Man these things have some power!!!
I'm having them replace the clutch, spark plugs and do a fuel injector cleaning service on the car as well. Alls I have to pay for is the clutch and the spark plugs, they're doing the labor for free!!!
Hopefully I can pick my car up this afternoon or tomorrow.

4 months later!!!
so, just thought I'd share the saga that was my oil consumption issue....in a nutshell:
(started Nov, 2011)
1st stealership did a short block and butchered it completely. Cracked the head, leaking oil, etc, etc...
infiniti consumer affairs sent a Tech inspector
2nd dealership did a complete longblock in 3 days - runs like a top
whole process took 4 months , I now have the beauty seen in the photo below! yes, I need to clean my intake...
everyone is right in trying to get the longblock - they couldnt seal my timing cover, routed things wrong, and cracked the head (covered with JB weld!) , etc, etc - try for the longblock, its pretty too

No oil leaks, but not sure how to check if there are any problems...

i'll try! but if you've had it since LAST december (10, or 11?) over a year, i wouldnt worry too much...however this past december - its worth checking....
one easy way is to drop the plastic cover on the bottom of car (bunch of 10mm bolts) and look for any oil spots on the cover, and also on the bottom of the block
