Hi Robert,

I do a lot of driving in my 2019 Nissan Rogue so try to look out for any maintenance issues. Iâ€™ve noticed that itâ€™s using about a quart of oil every 500 miles and been told this is down to a problem with the valve guides: is this correct?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi, Andy!

Itâ€™s not unusual for high mileage cars to use a quart of oil between every 1,000-5,000 miles. But if your 2019 Nissan Rogue is using this amount every 500 miles, that is excessive. This could be the result of worn valve guides or too much distance between them.

If the valve guide seals are cracked, missing, worn, broken, or have been improperly installed the engine will also consume too much oil.

The problems mentioned above will cause your Rogue's powerplant to suck oil down the guides between the cylinders.

This issue could also be the result of broken piston rings or wear in the cylinders. So the best thing for you to do is call down to our Service Department and let the Technicians inspect yourÂ car.

Thanks for the question, Andy. Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
