Since I have an automatic, I'd probably have to mod the hell out of my car to to keep up.

Not too sure how much further I have to go since I already have the 1/2" spacer (IsoThermal), Z-tube, Pop Charger, Crawford cats and Borla Exhaust.

Man, I wish the Infiniti dealership had 6MT's in at the time. I wanted a manual and got stuck with an auto.

Everything appears to be just fine, especially since I have been pushing the G hard after the MREV install. Believe me . . . It was killing me, as well. All of the previous readings had indicated that everything was going to be fine, but you never know. Whew! I had the MREV sitting here in my garage and could not install it.

I use the regular ole 5w30 oil. What were your results after the first oil consumption readings and how many miles do you have on your G, thus far? I trust that your G will come out this with flying colors. Please keep us posted. Good luck!

Basically, after about 2500 miles, I've been getting valve train rattle.. dipstick dry and all. I've been using Mobil 1 10w30 since about 3k plus miles. (the car was eating oil before I switched). Have you always been on 5w30?
