2005 Infiniti G35 Engine cooling Problems

“I did a oil change on my car this day. I also did the one prior to it. I put 5 quarts in, but only drained about 2-2 1/2 qts. The dealership said that it is a known issue and that they need to do my next oil change and start the oil consumption tests. They said that if it is a problem, they will take the appropriate steps and possibly have the engine replaced.”

“I own a 2005 Infiniti G35 manual trans. It suffers from the common oil consumption issue. It was taken to the only local dealership in puerto rico and was denied warranty replacement because there are aftermarket parts on the engine. I believe this is illegal since they can't prove those modifications caused the condition since it's well knows these cars suffer from this. I have contacted them several times but they insist on their decision. …”

“My 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe has been experiencing high amounts of engine oil consumption. Finally, I asked the dealer to perform an engine oil consumption test. Through the course of 3 dealership documented engine oil consumption tests, my car has consumed 4 quarts of engine oil in some 2,739 miles.

As I have seen other complaints for this issue on other models, it should be investigated and an updated recall for other model years needs to be enforced. This is a potentially dangerous malfunction. …”

“My first issue:engine oil consumption I am an owner of a 2005 Infiniti G35 5at. I bought it certified pre-owned at 62,000 miles 2 years ago. From last year (when the vehicle was at 78000) miles I started to have severe oil consumption problems. One day I took it to get an oil change and the mechanic noticed I only had one quart of oil left. By the next 1000 miles (after the oil change) the oil light kept coming on every time I braked. I pulled over and checked my oil and it was extremely low to the point I was scared of driving it further so I got it towed to the Infiniti dealer. …”
