Infiniti Rev-Up Oil Consumption TSB
#496
His still burned as the miles continued on regardless, just not as fast in the beginning.
He still qualified even with that type of oil.

Infiniti Cust Svc called me this afternoon and said I wouldn't qualify for buyback at this time but to continue to have dealer document any issues and warranty work and maybe in the future. So I guess I'll start nit picking all the little problems and make sure they document for possible future buyback.
Knowledge is power, love it. They hate it, too bad. I have no love for their general ignorance and games.
Read many 350Z owners have successfully with Nissan after 3rd failed attempt of fixing this issue.
Get the BBB on your side if it comes down to that and/or Lemon Law Attorney. Document everything in the meantime in writing, service orders, etc...

Yeah I didn't see the logic behind that statement. I mean it's still an Infiniti dealer. Im calling corporate tomorrow to see what can get done and I'm heading back to the dealer.

Heard a lot of stories over the years, yes years lol, but that's a new one in my book.
G/L with all that.
Oh...get a complaint case number from Infiniti Customer Care. Don't hang up without one. Important if things continue to be stupid.

Exactly...plus they changed your oil, so no reason for them to deny you to start testing with them.

Actually, that goes for anyone who calls Customer Care concerning this issue. Document, document, document, get case reference number.
File a complaint with the NHTSA too as this being a defect b/c it is!! A recall will STOP all this dealer BS I keep hearing about, even with Infiniti's good-faith non-mandated attempt with their TSB.
I have my replacement and seems to be ok sort-of, results still pending. Still these continuing stories from dealers makes my blood boil when I hear G35 and 350z enthusiasts (any consumer really) being played. Recall will own them, TSB leaves room for games as I keep reading about as the years continue. Trust me, have my own stories of being played. Total BS but won with a few more gray hairs to prove it.
Check this out and if agree....do it...thanx. Only will help others who eventually find they have this plague as well. We're here to help right, well I am.
Share the love I say and make it easier for the next person hopefully.

^ Thanx dude for your support. I share years experience on this issue (you too ) and learn a lot about other things from here (-edit--->) 'on OC and Driver'.
It's what it's all about in my book hands down...

^Thanx for the props, don't get much here. Little here and there (not that it matters really, otherwise I'd unsubscribe haha). I'm a moderator for much less on other forums...here meh...it's who you know unfortunately for recognition and IB...whatever.
Even with my replacement installed almost a year ago, still feel the need to spread the love, being my life since 1-2006 and not out of the water yet on this issue (you know what I'm talking about bro on my350 ) I still get all in a ruckus when I hear crap still going on with revup VQ owners...pisses me off to no end to hear the BS still going on today.
(counting to 10).... rant over.... and so are the edits....lol

Figured I'd add some more to this thread. I read the entire thing last night and decided my car may qualify for the engine replacement as I was down 1 and half quarts this past Sunday. Wasn't touching the dipstick. I have 65,500 miles so it seems like I might be someone who qualifies with possible the highest approved mileage. I will keep everyone posted when I know whats going on. Called Infiniti this morning and went in this afternoon and they changed oil, charged me however even though I mentioned the free oil change and said to come back in 1,000 miles which obviously meant 1450.
