Infiniti Rev-Up Oil Consumption TSB
#152
I am from australia and I'm thinking of importing the JDM 350GT.
since nissan australia would not provide warranty on the vehicle, I want to find out if topping-up the engine with oil regularly is the way to go (at least in my case). or would i be experiencing problems later on if I just top it up?
thank you

I've done most of my oil changes on my own, and probably only have two or so actual receipts (other than my 15, 30, and 45,000 mile maintenance)...
TIA

^Prior to the revup TSB, any VQ that consumed 1qt/1000mi or more and under warranty was replaced, so not sure what Infiniti does now with non revup VQ's since revup TSB release.
The receipt thing I know nothing about as far as replacements go. Might depend on dealer and the SM that's there.
SM is the one who tells regional rep yes, then regional tells Infiniti to give green light on replacement.
SM is your friend, don't burn that bridge whatever you do
