a coworker with an '06 Z just had his long block replaced under warranty. this was after an oil consumption report/testing at the dealer. this engine is the rev-up.

his car was imported from the US after it had lived there 6 months, but the OC issue is common thoughout North America...

I believe FX'd had his engine replace recently for this reason.

See above. However if you have an '04 car that meets the same oil consumption standards, using the Infiniti TSB & have documented oil change records you will likely be successful.

Are you saying you bought a car with oil consumption problems?

engines were updated with more power. can't remember the technical problem for the oil burning... something to do with the rings not sealing properly or something.

There have been isolated cases, but not typical for an '04.
My '04 barely used any between changes, I never had to top up.
