2006 Infiniti G35 Engine Problems

“I have always had my mechanic do servicing on my Infiniti until he closed the business. Since then, I have been doing my own oil changes at home. Doing so, I have noticed that the amount of used engine oil is roughly 2.5 quarts. In the owners manual, when changing the engine oil with oil filter, the vehicle intakes 5 quarts of oil. It seems like the engine is burning oil because I don't see any oil leak marks on my driveway.”

“Excessive engine oil consumption. The vehicle has 148k miles. This problem has resurface many times in the past and I get a warning that the vehicle need to be service. Each time the dealer informed me that the oil level was low and after they add oil and reset the warning it is fine until the oil again goes below the safe level. The car has been maintained by the same dealership since it was purchased. On the last previous services due to this issue I been told that the engine needs to be replace. …”

“I was heading south on I 75 in florida heading towards bradenton in the passing lane doing between 75 & 80 when my engine shut down making a loud noise.

I am so furious this happened as I just had my car serviced the week before and I am 72, a senior citizen. The cooling fans apparently knocked out the thermostat. …”

“My 2006 infinity G35 manual transmission has 86,000 miles and has excessive oil consumption. I put 3 quarts of oil in after just 700 miles of driving.

There are multiple complaints on the internet regarding this exact issue; however, to date, nissan has not issued a recall. This is completely unacceptable. I have taken excellent care of my car and now this - no support from nissan. …”

“I own a 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe that has less than 60k miles and burns two quarts of oil every 1000 miles. I originally became aware of the problem back in 2008. I took my vehicle to the dealership to begin excessive engine oil consumption testing. At that time I only drove about 200 miles a month and the dealer said I needed to be driving 2500 miles to perform the test. I explained that there wasn't a way to put the mileage on my car without unnecessarily driving around town. …”
