Another disappointed owner of a G35 Coupe. Snipped from: Everyone Check your Oil Thread.

Stay away from the G35. It doesn't matter if it has the VQ35DE or VQ35DE Rev-Up engine. They are all crap. I bought a brand new 2007 G35 with 8 miles on the clock. I broke the engine in just as the manual stated. It burned oil the whole time I had it. I sold it with 5,000 miles on the clock. It took me 1 1/2 years to sell it. I never drove it from the time I started the selling process.
I took an $8,000 dollar loss when I sold it.

It doesn't matter what oil you use, the G35 will eat it up and spit it out like Aunt Betty's fruit cake at Christmas.
Move on brother, just move on. You WILL become another victim if you purchase a G35.
Your eyes are burning from reading this thread? They should be.
It's a huge a$$ thread about a piece of crap that Nissan sold to
the American consumer. Then Nissan spit in our face by denying and lying about the problem as they laughed all the way to the bank.
Nissan waited 3 years before they relased a TSB on the oil burning issue.
Nissan was trying to get past the warranty period before releasing the TSB on the G35 and the 350z.
Look for something else.
One more thing.
SCREW YOU NISSAN!!!!!!!
