| At ~7,900mi, i took my g35 coupe 6mt to infiniti dealership when i started hearing a knocking noise and noticed that the check engine light would come up every few times a week. i was called in 4 more times after that (every 1,000mi) specifically for oil-level testing. the dealership received an approval to replace the engine, and at 14,500mi, after just about 6 months, i drove out with a new one (10102-ac7m9). i was told to go easy for the initial 12-15k. after driving about 1000mi now, i am running low on oil. i just checked it myself. i plan on taking it to the dealership soon to record it formally. but this is not the only problem i am having, the new engine seems to be a lot louder and a bit sluggish too.. yes.. definitely not the ride i got used too!! *tr | |||

| When my leased 06' g35 coupe hit around 6,000 miles it started making a rattling sound from under the hood. when i brought the car to the dealership to be checked on they advised me that my engine was consuming too much oil & that the engine would have to be replaced. they replaced the engine but than at around 7,000 miles the same noise came back. i have been to the dealership 4 times in the last 3 months and everytime i go back the car is 2-3 qrts oil low. the problem is that the engine that they replaced my old engine with has the same issue & it will continue to happen unless i am given a new manufactured engine - which seems to be unavailable. this is a major safety concern for my family & i want them to take back the vehicle or provide me with a new engine. i have complained to infiniti consumer affairs who are aware of the situation but i feel i am getting nowhere. ininiti consumer affairs states that the case is being researched. this is unacceptable for a leased vehicle & it needs to be addressed. *tr | |||

| I want to report that nissan/infiniti has a major defect with the engines being used in the infiniti g35 and nissan 350z cars. the defects are causing engines to blow due to low oil capacity. this is a major safety threat to the owners of the cars and to other motorists on the road. i want infiniti to take back my vehicle because i believe it is a safety threat to me, my wife, my 3 year old child and other motorists around me. infiniti has been unwilling to work with me in this capacity. the evidence against infiniti is staggering as can be seen on the discussion threads that i have posted below. http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120735 http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=232332 http://www.g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110973 http://www.6mt.net/forum/g35-coupe/18296-oil-consumption-getting-worse.html http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=239828 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/186282 http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141145&highlight=oil+consumption http://www.g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159097 http://www.lemonauto.com/complaints/nissan/sentra.htm *jb | |||

| 2006 infiniti g35 coupe suffering from excessive oil consumption. car was purchased used from infiniti of oakland in december 2007 with 15k miles. car burned 2.5 quarts between 15k and 20k miles. it is currently undergoing an oil consumption test with infiniti per service bulletin itb08-002c. *tr | |||

| Excessive oil consumption. one to one and one half quart of oil is used every 700 to 900 miles. some intervals are shorter at 500 to 700 miles per one quart of oil used and some are longer, 700 to 1,000 one and one half quart will be needed. oil light has never come on as i have checked the oil every 500 miles since the purchase of this vehicle. vehicle is currently at 15,800 miles. *tr | |||

| Engine new used 1 qt of oil every 1200 miles. oil consumption somewhat better with more miles, but still 1 qt/2500 mile presently with 21,000 miles on engine. dealer said it was my driving habits and nissan/infiniti won't do anything about it unless it consumes more than 1qt/1000 mile. i followed factory engine break-in guidelines, i do not race my vehicle and dealer has done all factory scheduled oil services. nissan/infiniti apparently is aware of this issue and apparently have a revised engine for warranty replacement, but my understanding, only if you consume worse than 1qt/1000 miles. my present oil consumption of 1qt/2500miles in my opinion, is unacceptable in today's standards and feel i should be entitled to this new revised engine for warranty replacement as well. *jb | |||

| Engine consumes 2.5 qrts oil every 800 miles & only 19-20 miles per gal gas and this decreases with oil consumption. clutch assy faulty/ grinding noise increased with mileage ,windows have binding noise up/down, passenger air bag light does not illuminate when seat is occupied or unoccupied. *nm | |||

| 2006 infiniti g35 coupe 6-speed manual transmission 1- noticed the oil levels were too low before 3000mile. 2- engine's low oil levels would cause a noise in the engine and performance decreases, until additional oil was added. 3- i had to take the car into the dealer every 1000miles to monitor the loss of oil. (which was 1.5 to 2.5 quarts every 1000miles.) after 5 such check ups, infiniti approved replacing my engine. engine was replaced this week. (10-18-07). *tr | |||
