A couple of questions here......love the car. Just bought the car and know about the issues with the rev-up engines.

When can I expect this engine to expire? What would be the symptoms? Can I rev the engine without incurring further damage? Say 5-6000 rpm without worrying?

I have changed the spark plugs, 65,000 miles no oil deposits, no smoke from tail lights at start up nor any engine problems whatsoever. The current oil consumption is about + / - 3-4 mm per 312 miles.

Thanks!

 

Just keep topping it off and it's all good.

 

Thanks!

 

Keep topping her off and start looking for a replacement long block. When you go thru a quart every 50 miles or hear the death rattle you'll know she's gone....

And it's not like it's easy to check the oil with the fabulous oil dipstick that Nissan/Infiniti has provided us..

 

my 05 6MT is burning oil, switch to conventional oil do not use full synthetic.

 

If you are consuming oil try thicker oil.

 

Just keep topping it off and it's all good.

 

Yea........switch to 20/50 Dino oil and never change it. Maybe you can get enough krud to line your cylinder walls/pistons and stop OC....Gary

 

i thought that this problem only warranted a new engine if not caught in time? isnt it just the rings that need to be replaced if consumption starts?
