Robert,

Iâ€™m a bit concerned about one of my older Nissan vehicles. How much oil consumption is too much? I feel the car may be reaching that point but Iâ€™m honestly unsure.

Thanks, Stacy

Stacy,

Great question! While increasing oil consumption over the life of a car is a fact we all have to accept, at some juncture, the amount of oil used may become too great no matter how old the car is. Whether youâ€™re in a modern Nissan automobile or any other, you should only use about one half of a quart of oil for every three to five thousand miles. If your car is particularly new, it may use even less! Contrarily, if you have a machine thatâ€™s truly long in the tooth, itâ€™s fine to use a full quart every 1,000 to 1,500, but that should be considered the absolute extreme. Anything more than thatâ€”old car or notâ€”and you have a problem on your hands that should be taken care of and diagnosed by a professional.
