that is really strange. Infiniti of Cincinnati told me that full synthetic SHOULD NOT be used before 20K miles and then once you change to it, you can't go back! I know everyone has their own religious beliefs about oil, but Inf. of Cincy told me this was INFINITI's recommendation? who knows??

The service mgr. told me they can not measure this as it goes directly into a large drum. Is there not any way to measure this?
Also, they told me they are using a Castrol synthetic now-it cost me $41 for the oil change-that is starting to get expensive.
What are your experiences with oil changes?
What are they using?
How much do the cost?
How much oil loss between changes?
Thanks,

That's what the original poster is talking about. Several G owners (seven that I know of) have experienced excessive oil consumption that has led to engine failure. He's just trying to keep an eye on his oil level.
