Looks like Infiniti (or dealer) is starting to dick with ppl who even meet their retarded threshold replacement guidelines.
This is what makes me mad that not all rev-up VQ's have this issue. But the ones that do even in moderation, are getting song and danced.
If the NHTSA gets enough complaints filed, they'll investigate and I believe they have the power to TELL Nissan/Infiniti to do a recall on these defective VQ's.
Some ppl have filed (its public record and can be viewed on their web site as well as file a complaint) I have.
Only wish that every person who posted here with this issue would file a complaint. That would finally get the NHTSA's attention.
Nissan/Infiniti not stupid. I doubt they would ever do a volunteer national recall on this. It would tarnish their many years of awards for that generation VQ power plant
They need to be TOLD and held accountable about this issue.
At this point, I'm seriously considering dumping my G, absorb my loss and go with something else that doesn't have major defects as this.
Been living with this issue for almost 2 years and have grown very tired of it. Its delayed my original plans I had for my G, VQ wise.
Everyday the fun factor has decreased along with me loving my G to it being a PITA as well as a POS worrying about my oil level. And I paid how much for this 
Sorry for the rant ppl...but I'm about done with Nissan/Infiniti's crap.

^^^Yes, a long time ago.
I've mentioned it a few times buried back in a few of these pages on this looong thread...lol
It's a somewhat long process filing, but it's worth it imo.
There's some complaints in the 2005's and some under 2006's category (like mine
)
Linky in where to start process:

Wish there was a class-action suit. I'd join in a heart beat.

^^^Ditto...that sucks. Thats what Ive heard too that it has solved this oil issue, while the factory replacements have proven still to be a POS.
I was given the part number from a member on another forum which he believes is for the Version 2 RevUp.
-Quote-
'From what I am reading the new engine is much better in terms of "smoothness" and low end power. It's part number (I believe) is 10102-AC7M9.'
-JekyllnHyde-
Check you paper work and see if it's the same one.
Hector...you could probably confirm this number as being correct or incorrect, being you have the Version 2 RevUp.

so today I'm off to try and collect receipts from a bunch of different oil change places Im sure i can come up with at least three.While you are at it, ask the dealer where in the warranty it says where/when you have to change the oil in the car during those 23,000 miles.
(hint: You'll find that the mileage markers are recommendations not requirements. This has vastly different legal ramifications.)
Also, if your Low Oil or Low Oil Pressure indicator lamps were not illuminated, than according to the car's ECU, the oil level and/or pressure is within ACCEPTABLE OPERATING RANGE.
If the light is not burned out, and the level was really not safe, THAT IS A DEFECT OF THE WARNING SYSTEM, which still puts you under warranty. Why have a low oil warning light, if it's not going to warn you that you are too low on oil?
I'm not arguing that this is what's wrong, I'm just telling you what an attorney might argue.

so far if i have oil consumption issues (2000+ miles), but either way it would be good to know

You can't go into a situation like this without knowing what's up or else you may not get results to your satisfaction.
. the car is brand new, and i was wonderingif by any chance they put the hand built engine into the car. i dunno, i'm just going to have to
wait and see.
