I'd be interested in hearing what short block changes have been made. I have not heard anything about this.

Oil consumption was a problem on some VQ35s in the 350Zs and a few other Nissans, but not wide spread...seems to be even more rare on the VQ37s.

I know GMs LS7 engines have been known to have oil consumption issues as well....

I called the DTS today. He told me that he believed the problem was with the piston rings. He was going to confirm this and get back to me. He also said that cars produced after 5/1/10 would have the updated block. He said it was possible it could be sooner. I asked the service manager at the dealership and he was also aware of the changes and said that cars produced after 2/1/10 would have the changes.
I did get a new car today. I basically lost my payments made to date. Got black after having graphite. Still 6 speed with track package. My fist car had a production date of 10/08. The new car was produced 6/10.
