i purchased my 07 g35x in May of 09. noticed oil was already at max wasnt brown at all so i knew the dealer changed it and didnt put alot of mileage on it. bought at 42k miles, now at almost 44k, oil is alil browner but no significant oil burning

I'm at 77K, average about 8K between (synthetic) oil changes since new, but I've never had to add between changes. It's usually down a bit on the stick, but not like it's even worth bothering with topping off between changes.

Added a quart a couple of weeks ago. Used a Jug of Mobile 1 EP 5w30 and the EP filter ~5500 miles ago. Nothing dramatic it was just towards the lower line in the morning when I checked. I don't know if it was at the top of the line when the oil was changed using 5 quarts or 1 jug.

Our 07 (now owned by a friend) has 95kmiles w/ no measurable oil consumption, regular 5-30 dino oil 3,500 mile OCI.
Our 09 w/ 50k miles using 5-20 Pennzoil Platinum w/ no measurable oil consumption, 6k OCI and great UOAs. I also use M45/56 oil filters for all my oil changes, filter's about a third larger than our puny G oil filters and my UOAs have been better since going to those filters (Bosch Premium BTW).

original owner of a 2006 G-35 6SP sedan. Amsoil, changes every 4-7,000 miles, oil samples lab tested each change (all have come back normal, no contaminants, normal oil component levels and viscosity index and oil ready for continued use). Typically have to add 2.5-3 qts between changes.
Their replacement engines have the identical manufacturing defect.
