So I've been doing some research on newer G's and Z's and I'm seeing that a lot of 2005-2007 cars are burning oil. Are there exact specifications on which models are affected or is this a crap shoot? How serious is this problem and how many of you are affected?

I may be looking into getting an 05 G35 in the next few months and this news does not bode well for me.

 

Research is good.
Searching on Driver on that topic will return many results including a current TSB on OC issues.

 

the auto are not effected. Some but not all 05-07 are affected.

 

vehicles affected were primarily 05-07 6mts.... not all MTs tho

 

^+1

but some AUTOs have been effected as well... that goes for 03-04 models too

 

was the problem with 6MT mostly in the 03-04 models & were all effected?

 

was the problem with 6MT mostly in the 03-04 models & were all effected?

 

iv only heard of 2 cases of an 03 and 04 both auto having oil burning problems...

im not saying it was a problem with the 03-04 5ATs/6MT's but it can happen

 

2007 G35 Coupe 6mt... 6,500 miles.. No Oil Consumption *knocks on wood*..

 

'06 6MT here. No oil burning issues, hope to keep it that way.

But I've heard a lot of horror stories

 

what it is is the rev-up motors. witch first came out in 05. i have an 05 6mt and havent had any problems so far knock on wood. the reason for the oil burning if my knowledge is right is because one of the cylinders have a new spring in it
