Infiniti G35 oil consumption issue

[shutterbug_art8]

Do any of you guys own a 2005+ G35 6MT that has this problem? Just wondering if this is a overblown issue or what. If I am looking at buying one, what type of tell tail signs this particular car has this problem?

only thing I've heard about VQ35DE oil consumptions was pre 04 - cat issues, along with the same issues w/ the 2.5's in the altimas and sentras

It was due to a crappy cat that let particulaes back into the exhaust vent, burning out the rings prematurely

G35driver is a good source on this. It is only on the rev-up models. You would for sure notice it if it is consuming oil. If it is consuming oil, the dealers were replacing engines under warrenty from what I hear. I wouldnt let it stop you from getting one.

it's not a rare occurence for oil burning, but its rare enough that if the car has documented maintainence history you should be fine.
