I just bought an 07' G35 Coupe w/AT and a VQ35DE engine.
The car only has 30k miles on it.
Is this car prone to the Oil Consumption issue I've read about?
I noticed I was down a quart after 3k miles.


Thanks

 

You have oil consumption on a 2007 ���������� i thought they fixed that issue after 06 VQs,my 03 Maxima is going through some oil(but I drive the rings out of it) and it does 1-1,5qts per 5k miles maybe 2 ************************��

 

yes

 

Jerseytaylor- Yes as in?

 

Yes as in the answer to the only question you asked in your post

 

Infiniti will tell you one quart in 3K miles is normal! With only 30K miles on your clock your G must have had a rough upbringing. Just check your oil level once a week, topping it off when needed!

All VQ35DE engines are prone to oil consumption. Whether or not your car actually has it is really luck of the draw. A quart after 3k is a bit high. "Normal" would be around 1/2 after 3k.

OP has an 07 COUPE, so still has the same VQ at 03-06. OC issues seem to have been resolved in the 07+ HR & VHR engines.

 

Thanks for the reply.


One follow up question on oil consumption.


Does it matter if you have a manual or automatic transmission?

 

manual 05-07's have more OC issues however neither manual or automatic for any year were completely perfect

 

OP please familiarize yourself with the forum rules and always read the headers of each sub-forum. This one said specifically "No car questions" so I'm moving it.
