Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE OWNED THE CAR WITH UNDER 100K MILES AND ALWAYS HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. CURRENTLY THE VQ35DE ENGINE CONSUMES ABOUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2 WEEKS/300 MILES..THE CAR IS ALWAYS UNDER LIGHT LOAD. CAR RARELY EVER SEES HARD ACCELERATION OR HIGH RPMS. PREVIOUS OWNER WARNED ME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WHICH THEY DEALT WITH FOR THE FULL TIME OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. I ALSO OWN A 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH THE SAME VQ35DE ENGINE AND HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AS WELL BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD.. ITS VERY SIMPLE TO GOOGLE VQ35 OIL CONSUMPTION AND FIND A PLETHORA OF LINKS TO ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SEEMS LIKE THE BORE ON THE BLOCK IS MILLED INCORRECTLY WHICH CAUSES THE OIL GETTING PAST THE TOP RING. *TR
