Oil consumption = new short block.
#5
Over on the 370z site only a couple of people have had their engines replaced from an oil issue and one was in an accident so there is no 100% claim to what did or did not cause it. The other had low mileage on it and probably was a bad engine from the get go.

Because one person posted this?

I learned this through contacts at a local Infiinity dealer... early '09 they had at least 4 G37's waiting on new motors because of consumption..

Your logic is flawed. Statistically speaking if there's a problem with several cars in a small sample population then the problem should most likely exist proportionately in the larger population. Then there is of course the fact that a lot of people come to these forums only because they have problems. However, as someone else mentioned: I've learned from experience that when one or two of these problems pop up it's generally not an isolated issue. Just my experience (as a Mechanical Engineer with experience in manufacturing and quality control), after all that's all I can offer.

No, because this potential problem has been around since the G37 was released.. I mentioned this over on the 370z site, well over a year ago.

guess its just all luck.. my 06 6mt has 50k on it and doesnt burn oil at all.. whew! although i still find it funny that people this day and age still dont get that not ALL Z owners are on the forums, and secondly, only people with problems complain or post about them, the other 99% without problems dont see the need to post up "hey my car isnt burning oil or feathering tires.."
