For the last months I have been researching the G35 and in many occasions I have read that the 6MTs have an oil consumption problem. Can you guys please tell me if this is a problem with just some cars or is the problem with all 6MTs.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

 

only with some...

05-07 6MT G's

i have an 05 6MT and no problems here

 

06 6MT with no problems so far (knocks on wood)

 

^ +1

No issues.

I dont think its just the 6mt, My friend gotta 04 5at sedan and he blew his motor from it.

 

yeah there are a few 5AT's with the problem 0nly 03-04 G's so far ive seen

 

No problems here... 05 6MT

 

06 6mt here. Since day one 1qt/2400mi, then down to 1qt/1200mi, now back up to 1qt/2500mi and steady, with less than 25K on clock.

 

the problem is mostly with 05-07 6MT engines. I have never heard anything about 03-04 autos or 6MTs. My oil consumption is zero. I always check right after an oil change and before an oil change. 5000 miles later the indicator shows exact same amount of oil is left as right after the oil change.

 

04 6MT Coupe with 54,700 miles and no problem here either.

Blackstone oil analysis result was good too.

 

04 6mt 55k no problems.

I thought this was predominately a revup issue? Maybe im wrong.

 

no problems here, 04 6MTC, 33K miles

oil catch can catches alot of oil. and the dipstick still reads the same.

 

Wish I had these other ppl's Rev-ups.
Old poll done...look at the 05 06 6mt's (rev-ups) in comparison.

If it were all rev-ups then okay whatever, but its not. Obviously there's ones without this issue as showing here.
Nissan/Infiniti wont replace mine, that why I'm butt hurt on this issue and believe I should be entitled to a rev-up that doesn't use oil like you guys rev-ups.
Grrrr... Infiniti ---> <---Me

 

Obviously not all, or else Nissan would have a recall since it would only be inevitable. Only some have problems; my 2006 G35 Coupe 6MT has been OK with oil

.

 

Thank you all for your comments. I think that I will go with an 03 or 04 6MT.

 

I have an 07 coupe with about 6K miles. I am in the middle of an oil consumption test right now actually. I had to add 3-4 quarts of oil in between my 3K mile oil change. I'll keep you updated!
