Can you live with oil consumption?

Can you live with oil consumption?
I've been rigorously looking for a suitable G35 for months now and the one thing that really scares me is the possibility of OC, especially for cars that are now out of powertrain warranty.
Let's say I do end up with one, would it be okay to just keep adding oil every few hundred miles, rather than fixing the problem? I have experience with rotary engines, so adding oil every few gas fill-ups is not a big deal for me

But, if I were buying a used MT G I would be very carefull to get one with great documented service records and plenty of power train warranty.
And, HELL NO, I couldn't live with a G that had OC issues.

I assume that you know this only pertains to MT and that is what you are looking for.

I have an 05 6MT, no oil consumption issues yet but I am keeping a close eye since my powertrain is running out soon. If I ever start burning oil I'm just planning to add some every couple thousand miles until I get rid of the car in two years.
It's ridiculous that a major car manufacturer sees this as acceptable; I've thoroughly enjoyed my G35 but trust me I will never be buying another Nissan/Infiniti again.

No it's not Blue although it doesn't really matter what year you get if you're buying a G35 with the 5AT. Most of the issues are with the '05+ Infiniti's with 6MT and the REVUP motor. Once they start going thru oil because of Nissans poor quality rings you might add oil and survive in the beginning but eventually the engine's going to FAIL!

Your question has already been answered check/read my post above. And if you check your oil level weekly via the dip stick and it stays on full like mine you have no worries. Also, only drive into a dealership for warranty work, service can be done by an independent shop or your local Nissan dealer. Keep all records that will maintain your warranty....
