Its this kind of reaction that starts to cause the car to come under relentless and unnecessary scrutiny for absolutely no reason...and once this kind of over reactive :BS: starts getting into the car magazine reviews the entire car starts to drop unnecessarily in its value quickly all because of supposition and conjecture.
So how about showing some patience and restraint and quit posting your needless concerns until there is a definite and provable problem identified and a root cause of a real failure instead of all this dust some of you folks keep kicking up about nothing.  |
if everyone waited, then nobody in the past with the older VQ motors would have complained and a bulletin more than likely would not have been made up. Nissan has a history of oil consumption on these VQ engines, it's a fully legit concern IMO. If there was no track record, maybe not. It's not conjecture, and people with this issue should complain about it. If people do not complain, nothing ever gets fixed, how else would nissan know there's an issue to begin with? NO engine should consume that much oil during it's normal operation short of a rotary perhaps. Break in or no break in. The end.
