I have been looking into buying an 03 G35 sedan (30k miles) and have a deal in place. I am a little leary about buying it because I have seen alot of post about the engine burning oil and sometimes causing the engine to seize. Is this something that is common among these cars and is it a big enough deal for me not to buy it? I would be getting an extended warranty on it but don't want to deal with filling the oil all the time and the possibility of the engine ****ting the bed. Please give me your thoughts.

 

I have never heard the 03-04 cars having oil consuption issue. The only cars that have that common problem is the 05-06 6MT revup engines.

 

I have a 03 Maxima SE and a 03 G35 Sedan, neither of them consume a drop.

 

+1, i change my oil (synthetic) every 4-5k and not a single line is missing compare the time i got the previous oil change done.

 

i had an 05 6mt and damn it burned more oil then gas!!! it didn't bother me.

 

you dont have to worry

 

Shouldn't be a problem for the one you're looking at.

 

great used car,

 

I use Mobil 1 and my consumption is next to nill. '04 sedan,69,000k.

 

The regular VQ (03-04, and 05-06 auto) is bulletproof. Very very very rare case of oil burning in those cars. Go for it.

 

This is honestly the first I've heard of a oil consumption issue with the G. My 03 doesn't have any problems like this.
