It's an old post but may be help for new readers. I have same situation on 1.8 2009 burning 500ml oil every 5000kms oil change. Changed the PCV valve which was almost blocked or sticky less rattle. I was using liqui moly 5w30 oil I went through all possible leak points but could not rectify. Luckily one day I just plan to change Crank Position Sensor and found lot of engine oil on crank sensor then I came to know the oil reducing source was main/Centre rear seal leak. It turnout previous owner didn't replaced the PCV valve on time which created pressure in engine causing main seal leak but leak can only be discovered when crank sensor is removed.
Vinny, are you still experiencing the same problem with your Versa? I did this same exact thing today to my Note but my PCV was rattling when I removed it. So who knows if it’ll work 🤷🏽♂️
What I ended up doing is adding a Lucas oil additive to the engine. Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer. And it stopped burning oil. But I just did an oil change and I've been driving on it for some time, and I'm not burning any oil. I would recommend putting in a thicker viscosity oil on your next oil change if this keeps happening to you.
@@vinny2474 thank you for your prompt reply! I noticed mine has been this way since I first purchased it brand new (8 years ago). It’s a 2014 and now has 64K on it and I’ve been using either fully synthetic Mobil1 or Annual Protection Mobil1 5w30. I guess I could go up to 10w30 and see how it handles. Some forums have also stated that Nissan typically doesn’t do well with synthetic oil and to instead go with the regular.
It did help. But I went back and checked months later, looks like I'm still burning oil from somewhere else. Perhaps something related to the internals of the engine.

What did you do to finally solve this. Do you still have the vehicle
I have a 2020 versa it’s burning oil every 700 or 1000 miles you think it’s the pc valve
