Could still be the PCV system like smj said..
Otherwise I know folks who when on a budget just went to thicker oil to minimize burning.
Worth checking but I think the PCV valve on the VG35DE is going to be a pain to get at. I have to remove the intake manifold and it looks like its three parts ...

You can make sure the oil is diluted with gas and make sure the PCV system is working properly. If that checks out okay, the most likely cause is that the oil control rings are stuck in the piston landings, which would require tearing down the engine, honing the cylinders and replacing the piston ...

3.5L Burning a lot of oil
Hi folks,
Bear with me as my knowledge is limited. I own a 2004 3.5L 4wd R50 with 160k miles on it. Got it when it was 118K miles and I've changed the oil regularly. MY issue is that the thing burns a lot of oil. I'd say a quart every two weeks and that's with conservative driving. It's done that ...

Hey! Thanks for the response Hawairish. So the mechanic did give me the codes and did not clear them however, it sounds like the codes were the only proof he had of needing to replace the cats. P0420-430 was what he provided me with. He gave me limited explanation and told me the cat codes were bad ...

Might have bought a real dud...
Hi folks, new to the forum so excuse my ignorance.
I recently purchased a 2004 Pathfinder with 118k miles on it and I think I might have really screwed the pooch on this one.
Got it from a dealer for around $5500 before taxes. Rear tires were bald and there was a little rust from what I could see ...
