The last thing I need is for my engine to sieze up while the kids are in the car or I'm on my way to work. I need to maintain a little bit of confidence/sanity while I'm driving due to this issue.

I'm not a lawyer but I don't think they can legally lock up the dipstick. They can mark the oil cap, oil filter, and drain plug though. It's just a mark. If you tamper with it then you are looking at another OC test at the least. Your current test will be null and void. If the SM's at the dealership say they are going to lock it then call Infiniti Customer care and find someone there to talk to. Put the phone on speaker too! There is no way Infiniti would want people driving around, especially at highway speeds, with no oil in the car. The TSB even mentions checking the oil regularly. If at any point in the test you are below 24mm (L on dipstick) you should take it to the dealer ASAP.

My G35 in a 2004 and is apparently eating oil quickly. The car had 40,600 miles on it for it's latest oil change. The technician at PepBoys said that only 1 quart drained out. I haven't had the time to make an appointment with a dealership yet with my travels. The last oil change was around 36,000 miles. I did not know that this engine had such a bad consumption problem until I found this webpage (and another).
Is this a TSB recall for my 2004 or is it a 4 year/70k drivetrain warranty issue? I purchased it in early March of 2004, so I'm pretty sure my warranty is now up? Just want to see how well prepared I'll need to be when I take it to a dealer as far as TSB vs. warranty. I can actually smell oil burning while driving.

Thanks to everyone in this forum
I own a 06 G35 sedan with 6sp. I had low oil problems and at 18k miles, I went to Infiniti for an oil consumption test. I never had my oil changed by Infiniti due to it not being convenient. I have a friend who is a mechanic who did it and I kept receipts
The oil consumption test showed almost two quarts low after 1k miles. The service manager ordered the engine which should be arriving in 1-2 weeks.
I would have never known about the problem without this forum. I would have never seen the TSB without this forum. I just want to give everyone here a big heartfelt thanks. It is websites like this that can protect the little guy from corporations that seem to be unconcerned with the mistakes they make.
Once again, thanks.
