Replying to: turbino (Nov 08, 2009 9:26 am) In addition to burning oil. I had some exhaust system problems. I took it to my trusted local shop. They checked my catalytic converters, they said that were clogged up. I had to have both CC's replaced for more than $1000. I presume the "mystery" oil that is being consumed is also fouling and clogging the CCs. I have no idea how long the fix will last. I will be trading in this piece of garbage as soon as my job situation is more stable. I was a loyal Nissan guy until now, my first was a 1972 240Z, my last will be this P.O.S. 2002 Pathfinder Replies to this message: turbino (Nov 09, 2009 7:45 am)

Having said that it's just a matter of time then before you spend $1000 again to replace the converters. And, how about other expense(s) that may also be incurred due to excessive oil consumption?
