Infiniti Rev-Up Oil Consumption TSB
#1832
U must've read a different tsb than me because the one I read said you must have the oil change prior to beginning the test and then take it in after 1000 miles for them to check it and order the short block if your oil consumption is out of range... Look back several pages in this thread for the updated TSB.
They changed my oil for free, then I brought it back in after ~1000 miles and said they'll order a new short block.

UPDATE:
Finally got a new short block! They also ended up putting in a new water pump and driveshaft. (I think they were just doing it to make money, lol)
While I took the car in, I had other warranty work that needed to be done. (Door actuator and sticky clutch pedal) Got the door actuators replaced and master and slave cylinder replaced to fix the clutch pedal getting stuck.
For all of you guys that got the new short block. How long did you wait for the break in period?
Can you really not go over 4k rpm and not full throttle for 1,200 miles?
I took off my Nismo exhaust and MREV plenum, and I want to put them back on!!
BTW I took off the mods to be on the safe side.
Infiniti Extended Elite warranty = FTW

That's good ****. Mine goes in for diagnosis on the 4th. They are dropping the oil pan and doing an compression test. After the findings they are making a warranty claim. What extended warranty company do you have. Mines warranty solutions. Also stripping the car to stock as well.
It's through Infiniti so no questions asked, they just do it like factory warranty.
I already got my money's worth. I paid $800 for 2yrs / 24k miles bumper to bumper. The invoice was for over $11k of work. Lol
For anyone looking for Factory extended warranty, Infiniti of Arizona has the best warranty prices out there!

Hey man have them check your pcv valve. I was the same way. They did a compression and leak down test and they both came back fine. After they cleaned out the clog in my pcv it literally stopped at least it hasn't consumed any oil in three days. Just a little food for thought.
