I learned this since I owned my 06 G35 coupe. Both Infiniti and Nissan techs didn't recommend me to use synthetic oil on the VQ engine. Because our motor eats oil like crazy. I'd rather top it off more frequently then being regret too late. A couple of my friends used synthetic oil and didn't check it for more then 8k miles then they got the CEL due to the oil being low.
So if you do use synthetic oil, you need to check the oil level frequently like Chuck suggested. |
I won't use M1 because it burnt like crazy in my Subarus. Switched to Rotella synth, no more issues. But I'm not starting an oil debate.

So maybe this is an issue with a faulty part, not all Z's. my 09 never lost a drop ether and I had that car for 30k miles.

Many performance cars burn a little oil without anything being faulty. Some of it is blowby into the PCV system as well. Check it at least every other tank of gas. No one is that busy that you can't manage to find five minutes every couple hundred miles.

It is somewhat confusing but the "brake" pedal is in the middle. Same concept applies to this pedal as when used in an automatic transmission.
Running oil for 10,000 miles results in $hit "breaking." Good luck with your braken motor.

Check your damn fluids, people.
