hey everyone, so my friend has an 05 rev-up and he got a new motor from infiniti due to oil consumption 5000 miles ago. he had the oil changed at 2,000 miles on the new motor with no issues. he started his car a few days ago and heard a knocking noise coming from the motor, he had it towed to infinity and it had consumed all but 1 quart of oil. the drainpan was completely dry, the day he heard the knocking he pulled his intake tube off and checked his oil. the dipstick registered ok he said right in the center of L and H. NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY ITS GONNA BE $900.00 JUST FOR THE TAIRDOWN IF HIS MODS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS

 

what kind of mods does his car have?

 

Intake, 5/16th motordyne spacer and mrev 2

 

should of taken the mods off before hand just to be on the safe side. but they shouldent be the problem

 

It seems like the $900 is the least of his worries. If they claim the problems are due to mods, then they're going to expect him to pay for a new engine too.

 

Should have taken the mods off before he had the car taken to the dealership.

 

no way they can blame it on those mods, that has no play with it consuming 5 quarts in 3000 miles

 

They have to prove the mods caused the issue.

 

Somehow, I suspect we're not getting the whole story.
