How can I slow down my oil consumption?
Increase your oil grade and/or use an oil-burning-reduction additive. If you’ve been using 10W-30 oil, replace it with 10W-40 or a single-grade oil. Try using a 40-weight oil in the summer and 20- or 30-weight oil in the winter.

I have a 2013 Nissan Juke S FWD with 138k. I usually change the oil every 3500-4500 miles and noticed it’s consuming quite a bit of oil. Previously I’ve had to replace the Turbo due to the bearing going out from the supply line being clogged.

The problem with excessive oil consumption that became noticeable at around 70,000 miles, eventually took my engine out.
