Most of us know that some of these engines burn some oil and others not so much. This is my experience so far.
Our Infiniti G35 Coupe just got done a 6k mile run of Mobil 1 0W-40 and I'm pleased to report that oil consumption was considerably lower with this oil than Gold German Castrol and Syntec 10W-30.
The car was bought used with 17K miles on it. I used GC for the first 3 OCI's then Syntec 10W-30, then M1 0W-40. Engine now has 42.5K miles on it. The consumption with GC on all 3 OCI's was by far the most and was not improving despite being used for a total of over 15K miles. Oddly consumption lessened on Syntec 10W-30. It lessened even more with Mobil 1 0W-40. Today I put in a mix of M1 0W-40 and 10W-30 High Mileage. Autozone didn't have enough of the 10W-30 HM so I settled for a mix.
Man this engine turns the oils dark...scary dark.
