“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!”Owner report · Engine · Aug 2019
