Interesting.
My car (2000 Maxima, 176K miles) does not use a drop of oil. I mean, I can't tell - the oil level does not change at all (I change oil every 5K miles). Using Mobile1 0W-40.

It's probably just a broken solder spot, because of all the shaking. You could try to re-solder it - assuming you are willing to try. (It would be one of the solders on ther power connection(s)).

I assume that the car is cranking, but does not fire up.
If so, check the ENG CONT 1 (Engine Control 1) fuse in the fuse box in the engine compartment, by the battery. I bet it's busted.

Another piece of misinformation.
The coils from the above dealer are $102.50 each. RockAuto sells the Hitachi coils for $33.79 each. That's a factor of 3, and definitely not "almost the same price".
