19 problems related to engine burning oil have been reported for the 2006 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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. I took it to the dealership for an oil consumption test. They confirmed that there are no leaks. They performed an oil change and placed dye in the oil. I'm to take it back after 500 driving miles. 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. Please NHTSA help!.
My car is burned to much oil I have oil consumption.
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.
My engine consumes oil, 2 quarts/1000 miles . I am the 3rd owner and I have just recently been informed of an oil consumption recall back in 2008.
Oil consumption problem. I lose at least 1 qt every 1,000 miles. Dealer did an oil consumption test and claims it only lost 2 qts in 3,500 miles. They zip tied everything so I could not check it myself. When I check the oil myself it always loses at least 1 qt for every 1,000 miles driven. The dealer lied but still forwarded my claim to Infiniti corporate. I never heard from them so I called them myself and they said they would not do anything about it. My car is a manual and I read online that this is a very common problem. Why is this not force recalled by the government? engine could seize on a highway and cause a collision.
The oil burns like crazy it caused my car to lock up being the it happens without warning, having to do oil changes once a month which is insanity. This has been a problem not only in the Infiniti G35 but also the Nissan 350z models. Usually a problem with manual 6spd transmission models. This should be a recall being that no one has been able to fix the problem!.
Unusual high oil consumption noticed around 25,000 miles. I am 61 years old and do not drive much or abuse the engine, I just wanted a reliable car with manual transmission. #1 dealer (very hostile) tested oil after 1000 miles showing only 4mm missing, however the same morning I have documented pictures showing 9 to 10mm of oil missing on the dip stick. Conclusion: dealer added oil prior of calling me in to see their oil check! asked Infiniti consumer afairs to redo test at second dealer. #2 dealer was much nicer to my complaint, but when I received the car after the free oil fill, the dip stick was sealed with a plastic tie! their answer was: "you are not supposed to check the oil level until you come back after 2000 miles" !!!. After 2000 miles of driving they opened the seal on the dip stick which showed about 12mm of oil loss. (have picture). Now I concluded that the dipstick was sealed so I cannot see that they (dealer #2) overfilled oil by about 1/2 quart, why I am saying this ? because in all my private measurements show about 10mm per 1000 miles and 20 mm at 2000 miles, which is in the bad range as shown in their own TSB. Currently the odometer is 32,275 miles, which is extremely low mileage for such an oil loss. They have revised the TSB 4 times to date.

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. Navigating the internet I have found various similar complains from customer were the dealer has replaced the engine. Since this is appears to be a manufacturer defect, I believe it should be corrected by the Infiniti company even that the warranty is expired due that I have addressed this to them on various previous visits ( I don't have the exact time this first happened, the date below is a estimated guess) to their service department.
My 2006 Infiniti G35 consumes oil that Nissan is aware about. The car doesn't burn oil or leak oil, but consumes around 1 quart of oil every 1800 miles. The manufacture recommends an oil change every 3,750 miles. I change my oil at 3000 miles and everytime I change my oil my car is always 3 quarts low. My car starts to make noises at start up and my low oil light comes on.
It has been brought to my attention by an Infiniti dealer that my 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe has fallen into a "not good" category for excessive oil consumption.
2006 Infiniti G35 coupe suffering from excessive oil consumption. Car was purchased used from Infiniti of oakland in December 2007 with 15k miles. Car burned 2. 5 quarts between 15k and 20k miles. It is currently undergoing an oil consumption test with Infiniti per service bulletin itb08-002c.
Excessive engine oil consumption: I check my engine oil every 500 miles and I have to add a half quart of oil each time. My engine does not have any leaks, my car has never had any modifications and it is very well maintained.
Excessive oil consumption noted at 6,000 miles. Continued with 1,000 mile interval test for oil consumption and found 1qt low at 7,000 miles, 1. 5 qts low at 8,000 miles, and 1 qt at 9000 miles. Infiniti said they ordered me a new engine. This was a 2. 5 months ago and I'm at 12,500 miles. I've had to top off my engine with a 2 quarts of oil and my own service department does not call me back.
Excessive oil consumption and excessive engine noise and/or vibration coming from the engine.

Its costing me way to much money and I want something done about it.
Excessive oil consumption. One to one and one half quart of oil is used every 700 to 900 miles. Some intervals are shorter at 500 to 700 miles per one quart of oil used and some are longer, 700 to 1,000 one and one half quart will be needed. Oil light has never come on as I have checked the oil every 500 miles since the purchase of this vehicle. Vehicle is currently at 15,800 miles.
The contact owns a 2006 Infiniti G35 sedan. The contact heard a ticking sound while accelerating. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of failure. The check engine light illuminated at 3,300 miles. The dealer replaced the cam shaft sensor. At 6,400 miles, the ticking noise returned and the check engine and oil lights illuminated. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle as consuming a large amount of oil. The vehicle was put through an oil consumption test and failed twice. At 7,500 miles, the vehicle stalled while turning and the check engine light illuminated once more. The dealer has diagnosed the vehicle as needing a new engine and would like to install a test engine designed for this type of failure. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 8,600 and failure mileage was 1,800. The consumer stated the vehicle shifts very rough. Updated 07/06/07.
Engine new used 1 qt of oil every 1200 miles. Oil consumption somewhat better with more miles, but still 1 qt/2500 mile presently with 21,000 miles on engine. Dealer said it was my driving habits and Nissan/Infiniti won't do anything about it unless it consumes more than 1qt/1000 mile. I followed factory engine break-in guidelines, I do not race my vehicle and dealer has done all factory scheduled oil services. Nissan/Infiniti apparently is aware of this issue and apparently have a revised engine for warranty replacement, but my understanding, only if you consume worse than 1qt/1000 miles. My present oil consumption of 1qt/2500miles in my opinion, is unacceptable in today's standards and feel I should be entitled to this new revised engine for warranty replacement as well.
