G35 oil leaks



Nice quality control from Infiniti. That right, at about 70k, a lot of G35 owners are discovering that their #6 spark plug gasket is leaking oil onto the spark plugs. This isn't really a huge issue, UNLESS you are out of warranty. Why? It's just a stupid spark plug gasket. Who the fuck cares.

Well, if you're on a budget, you should care. Because Infiniti doesn't sell just the 6 gaskets you need to replace, you have to BUY AN ENTIRE VALVE COVER KIT!

That will cost you over $700 including labor. Some members were quoted over 1k. So, if your G has close to 70k and you're still in the warranty period, you better check your seals before it's too late.

Interesting how the SAME valve cover on a Nissan Maxima is only $35, while the G35 Cover is $180. Yet BOTH vehicles share the same crappy VQ35DE motor!
