I bought a 2005 infiniti g35 last year and did not know about the oil consumption defect that the g35 has. I recently developed a knocking sound in the engine and when I checked the oil I noticed the engine was low on oil. I filled the car up with the 2 quarts of oil that was missing. I checked the engine, engine bay and also under the car to see if there was an oil leak present but there wasn't any. A friend of mine told me about the oil consumption that the car is known to have and to my surprise my car was consuming a quart of oil ever 500 miles

My infinity g35 2005 m/t has a manufacturers defect of oil consumption and is very common to the engine for this model the vq35 it only has 63,000 miles on it and it consumes 1.5 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. The car starts knocking with no oil in it by 2,000 after an oil change. I change the oil and only 1 quart comes out when it's supposed to have 5quarts! This is also causing my check engine light to turn on with codes that the oxygen sensors and three way catalyst are bad. It squeals when turning it on and knocks while driving.

I have a 2006 manual transmission g35 that is consuming up to 2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. I did not realize this was happening until my engine made a loud repetitive ticking noise and when I checked the oil there was less than a quart in it. I've since continued topping off my oil weekly and contacted the dealerships. Since I am out of warranty the only thing I can do is replace the block myself. I am very disappointed how they are handling this situation with not only me but many other infiniti owners. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

At ~7,900mi, I took my g35 coupe 6mt to infiniti dealership when I started hearing a knocking noise and noticed that the "check engine" light would come up every few times a week. I was called in 4 more times after that (every 1,000mi) specifically for oil-level testing. The dealership received an approval to replace the engine, and at 14,500mi, after just about 6 months, I drove out with a new one (10102-ac7m9). I was told to go easy for the initial 12-15k. After driving about 1000mi now, I am running low on oil. I just checked it myself. I plan on taking it to the dealership soon to record it formally. But this is not the only problem I am having, the new engine seems to be a lot louder and a bit sluggish too.. Yes.. Definitely not the ride I got used too!!
