Which VQ35 was it, the DE or HR? As I said above, some of the HRs were known to drink a lot of oil. Nissan was replacing those engines under warranty.
The early year VQ35DE were known for burning oil, some more than others. It had something to do with bad valve seals or stuck rings. As long as the oil was topped off religiously, the engines ran fine.
