Well, I'm reading all these threads and people getting their engine replaced 3 - 4 times.... I am doing my oil test with the dealership and wanted to know; Are the new engines that are installed now, in 2009, fixed or not? Will they still drink oil or they haven't fixed the "problem" ?

 

I'd like to know.
i just got my new motor p ut in today and just brought it home. It better be fixed!

 

I had mine installed about 2 months ago. So far, so good. I called the infiniti dealership to ask about these supposed new revised engines. The guy told me that they are completely rebuilt engines, and will not have the same oil consumption issues. He told me that he has been working there for 2 years and so far, no one has come in with problems on there new VQ. Sooooooo, that gave me the go ahead to start modding. WE WILL SEEEEEEEE

 

Anyone had this problem in Florida and got a new motor?

 

motor replaced last july. still consume 1 to 1.5 quarts every 3500 but i guess its better than the 3 to 4 quarts with the old motor.

 

Woah, this freeking sucks! I spoke to the dealership and they informed me that the new ones are fixed. We'll see..

 

Is this problem only on some engine's like defective ones's

 

Great to hear!


Curryboy; the engines that are know with this problem are the REV-UP engines, aka 2005+

 

Then I'm safe 04' ftw j/k

 

^..Lmao made me swallow my words damn well I think I'm safe though no porbs. yet at 53k miles thanks for the heads up though Miss Jen

 

Ugh... I have the non rev-up and have zero oil consumption problems, but that doesn't make me feel well. Car has 46K and the warranty expires in a year.
