BTW the dip stick is sealed so it can't be tampered with.

Sorry I forgot to take a picture.
So I just got back from the dealer and the car burned 5mm (at least that was noted by the tech) of oil in 800 miles. According to the current TSB I'm in the good range.
My only hope is that it doesn't burn anymore oil for the rest of the testing. My first engine didn't burn anything the first time then 1/2, 1/2, and a full qrt so its a shot in the dark to see what happens.
I'll keep you guys updated.

Well, John and Alan . . . I have some 1700 miles since the last engine oil change. I just checked the engine oil level, this morning. According to the latest TSB, my new engine is consuming engine oil. Mind you, it's not the 1 to 1-1/2 qts., of OC per 1000 miles like the original engine, but it still falls into the OC range. I will take the car back to the delaer and will be requesting another formal OC test.
If the engine would maintain the current level of OC, I would be pleased with an extended warranty.

This morning G was in slight slopped driveway and 24mm down. Now sitting level elsewhere and will be checking later today for true level.
Getting ready for the OC level test follow-up visit soon.

They didn't seal the dipstick? How are you able to check the level during the oc test?

Dang Alan...were you on SC run? I wanted to talk to you about this OC stuff and your current V2.
My level yesterday was 20mm down at a tick over 1500 miles on my oem VQ.
Still fighting for my 1st replacement since Jan 06![Icon22](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/icon22.gif)

If you and Andy want we could meet up and grab some dinner and talk about this crappy *** motor. I may only have it for a couple more months.

Know some very interesting insight about my oem revup concerning OC and about a friends successful V2 from the same professional source.
That’s all I’m saying further publicly about that subject.
Sounds good on the dinner thing, though we all live far apart from one another. We'll talk more about that possibility via PM (would be OT in discussing that further here)
Sounds like possible buy-back or final repair attempt for you in a couple months. Damn....
Us three should talk.

I'm really thinking on just trading the car in on a nice communter car and be done with high end performance for awhile. With gas prices the way they are and have a 50 mile round trip communte in traffic gets expensive.
I'll let you know what I decide.
Thanks

I got a call from my infiniti dealer that the car is ready to be picked after getting the new engine. can someone confirm the part number and where I can look for it (G35c)?
I read the first post and saw that it ends with a Z. Is this accurate or ther are other numbers?
Please confirm. Thanks!

I just had my G returned to me after having the long block changed out a few days ago. Found that all my black volk lug nuts have nicks and scratches on them, and found that the shift plate was off making it difficult to shift into 5 & 6 gear. Aside from that, they did a great job at Redwood City Infiniti. Only thing I was kind of hesitant on was when they mentioned they "had" to charge me because I had after market parts on there which needed to be removed in order to get the engine out. $750 to do that, they had to remove the front Cusco Sway bar, GTSpec 4 point brace, unhook the wiring for the Tein EDFC and disassemble the HKS exhaust which came out to $750. I didn't want to haggle with them so I just paid it. Been breaking it in since I rolled it off the lot, only time will tell if this fixed the OC issue or not. If not, I will probably part the car out and sellz it.
