Some of the Revups are fine. I"ve owned my 2006 Z since 2011 and it doesn't burn oil.
Pros: does not burn oil

I first got my 06’ 3 years ago, my first oil change I had 2 quarts of oil in there lol. Every oil change I’d have less than 3.5 quarts every time and I did oil changes every 2.5k miles (very early but oil was cheap so I didn’t mind) Mind you my first mod was an oil catch can. It did help a bit and also kept the manifold cleaner Aside from that I only had one code in less than 10k miles of driving (135k miles) , camshaft sensor
Pros: oil catch can helped, kept manifold cleaner
Cons: low oil levels, camshaft sensor code

I’ve had my 06 touring for about 4 years now but only put about 15k on it, it’s now at 139k kms. It’s been alright maintenance wise, literally only had to change things that are common on the 03-05 models. Im incredibly vigilant with checking oil and do oil changes every 4K kms. No oil burning yet thankfully but I’m expecting it to change more into the future when the miles get higher.
Pros: alright maintenance, no oil burning yet
Cons: common issues on older models

I change my oil every 3k miles with OEM Nissan Ester oil. My galleries will stay intact forever.
Pros: maintains engine integrity
I’ve been running it for years, no valve train noise. It’s a convention base, so you need to stick with a 3k mile OCI.
Pros: no valve train noise
Cons: 3k mile OCI

I recommend Nissan oil or any motul synthetic with Ester. Thats what these engines recommend. Had mine for 12 years and still a very relevant car today.
Pros: super-reliable
Nissan Titan 5.6L took about 7L of oil. For an engine that has a typical wet sump pan, that surprised me considering the fact that most domestic pickups take 6L of oil.

My 2003 Frontier only holds 3.5 quarts. Yes, it's made like that. For a while, I thought it just had a crappy dipstick tube and the dipstick was rubbing the sides and hard to read. Nope, oil change places and even mechanics would routinely dump 5 quarts in it. Even after I told them it only took 3.5 quarts.
