Everyone: Check Your Oil!
#919
This thread is alarming. My daughter bought a 2007 G35 Sport last year, and I bought one in May of last year. I change my own oil on both of them(use synthetic in mine and Castrol 5w30 in hers. She has 20,000 miles on hers and I have 14500 on mine. So far no oil usage issues, but the fact that Infiniti could have this issue and not fix it is serious. I can't believe there hasn't been an issue raised in the journals or magazines. How can they hide something this serious? I have a 2000 Ford F-350 V-10 with 137,000 miles on it and doesn't use a quart in 4000 miles. These cars shouldn't be using any oil if the are still under warranty mileage. There is a serious problem with their product quality or assembly. Good luck to all with the problem. A class action lawsuit sounds like a perfect solution. I would have an attorney on it right away if it was not my fault.

I was all set to get a 335xi coupe, but decided to do a sanity check as the G35x is much cheaper. I have read the first few and last pages of this LONG thread and I gather this is not a problem for the 2008 models.
Is this correct?
I understand this engine has been on the Ward's Engines list for 14 consecutive years. I just went on that site and there is no mention of this problem. any comments?

Infiniti has revised their TSB on the OC issue.
Same revision with 350Z's. Both on 2-27-08.
They have eliminated the 0-500 and 501-1000 mile 'no good' columns.
The remaining chart is the same as the original TSB.
