Description of the problem | I was told we can make a shout out for a complaint to nissan/infiniti for vq35de rev-up engines consuming a lot of oil at 1k miles. I own a 2005 g35 coupe 6 speed manual i have had 1 engine replacement for oil consumption problems and this being my new engine at 60k i am beginning to have the same issue again. I have to add 2. 5 quarts of oil at 1k miles, and could damage my engine permanently infiniti has denied me extended warranty cause of this issue.. Weak piston rings and or pistons are the culprit for our thousands of g35 6 speed manual rev-up motors drivers.. To need upto 3 engine replacements or denied extended warranties from nissan/infiniti i wish they would have a re-cal for these vq35de engines for these issues years 2005-2007. |
