How many people have the Oil Consumption problem?

If your is eating oil like it's going out of style put your name here and the year and transmission of your car. This is a Revvup 6mt problem I'm pretty sure...

This appears to be a common issue among the RevUp engines. Until the manufacturer steps up to the plate, owners will simply have to monitor their engine's oil consumption and add oil accordingly.

05 MT 30,000 miles. Had the car since last October. Pain in the ***, but I guess I'm used to it now. I go through about a quart every two weeks. More if I drive harder. Eventually I'll take it to the dealer but I've been too lazy to go

Are you saying you are on your 2nd (long block) engine? I am too. 05 MT 27k miles. Got a new long block at 25k, And this second engine seems to be doing the same thing.

Yep, second Engine. I feel I didn't spend this much money on a car that I need to monitor the oil. I've informed Infiniti of this and told them there is nothing in the manual that says check my oil every 1000 miles so they can suck it!.. I'm going to continue to drive and do oil changes every 3500 miles.. if the engine dies they have to replace it. .. I have a 100,000 mile warranty.. .. I will need about 20-30 engines in the life of my warranty.. I think it's in their best interests to just buy my car back and sell it as "certified Used"..
