Hi guys

i have a 04 coupe with 75k KM so i'm guessing around 48k miles?

anywho it's always burned oil and lately it's burning more than usual

i've been using Mobil 5w30 since i bought the car about 20k ago. i'm planning on switching to Castrol to try and see if it's any better, as I've read on this board that it's a bit better.

what do you guys think? 10w30 or 10w40? or should i stick with a 5?

thanks guys

 

go synthetic. mobil one ftw! i've used it since i drove off the lot. the rule of thumb is as the egine ages you go up in weight. there is a tech spec around the web. google it.

 

^ yea i've been using mobil 1 synthetic.

still burns probably 2 L every 3.5k miles.

i'm thinking of just switching to 10w30 and calling it a day.

 

If you car is burning excessive oil, you should take it in and see if it falls under the Infiniti recall. It could get you a new engine! Do a search on this forum. I think it is only for manual transmission G35's.

 

Even if he's auto, if he's consuming that much oil, he'll be covered.

 

I stand corrected. GOod to know!

 

You wouldn't be covered under the recall if you're out of warranty correct? Also, isn't the oil consumption recall only for the 05+ models?

 

yea i'm way outta warranty, but i'll give them a call and see cause i do have an extended warranty.
