In owners' own words
This is regarding the Infiniti vq engine and its oil consumption problem. I own a 2004 g35x I paid for and its sits with the biggest oil consumption problem due to nissians problem with the vq engines at the time of the make. Many people have this same problem. Very many people! I dont find this fair at all. I would like to talk to someone regarding this situation and come to a conclusion. Plz Engine · reported at 98,000 miles
