I have to add 1,2 quarts of oil to engine a week. I don't have any cream looking oil or bad oil leaks. Temperature is maintaining.. Where is my oil going too

Do you have a visual oil leak? If not then I would think it is burning it.

You are going to have to do your own homework.
But...
in the early 2000's the cat's had a problem of coming apart and destroying the engines in the 2.4 altimas.

Using oil was a bad sign.

Nissan replaced the engines for free as part of a recall.

Good luck
