well yea, i recently changed my plugs and the old ones were literally DRENCHED in oil. I dontknow what it was but somehow my O rings are in neeed of replacement and let oil seep through into the plugs, (only 3 of them). I have the new plugs in and did not yet replace the O rings... Can it wait another week or so til i replace them? Its funny because only 3 of the 6 cylinders had oil in them.. I did not understand this... any help, thanks

 

The 5.5 Generation Maxima's with the VQ35DE are known for oil consumption problems i think that has happened to you go to the dealer and have them check it out you may need a new motor.

 

LMAO, can anyone confirm this ridiculous comment? MY O RINGS ARE SHOT SO I NEED NEW ONES, how do u figure I need a new motor? LOL

 

lol...its not an oil "consuption" problem...more like a oil leak....which seems to be from bad valve covers.

not from the the motor "consuming it"

just a fwi.


there are a few post about hte oil in hte spark plug holes...

 

may you direct me to these please?

 

soonerfan had this problem to. and he had to fight with nissan. for like a whole 2 years or something and i think he still is.

 

wtf?? you need to becareful before you give out false information such as needing a new motor. its leaking oil because you have a cracked valve cover. it shouldnt be hard to fix. is it the front 3 or back 3?

 

This is the second newbie that has posted the same exact thing recently. SEARCH THE OTHER THREADS!!!!!

 

yes now you know whats wrong, so do your searches newbs. like everyone else does here.

 

yea but i think soonerfan need a new motor and your from Hamilton NJ or no.

I'm not looking forward to the time I have to replace my spark plugs, as this seems to be the norm for this Gen of Maxima. But from what I've read here it seems to be an easy fix if caught early. If its an oil consumption problem then the engine may need to be changed but in order to get that done under warranty you have to get the dealership to make note of the problem by visiting them on more than 2 or 3 occasions. At least thats what I've come to understand from reading the 4 or 5 different posts on this problem. If your problem is simply an oil leak you can wait until you get the parts, just monitor your oil level in the meantime.

read that it has what your looking for and problem.

 

Just to clarify: This has NOTHING to do with oil consumption. It's an entirely separate issue and is somewhat capable of doing harm (ie: if your oil somehow gets water inside it, the coil can be damaged) but the oil is sealed above the spark plug and does not leak fast at all.

he already bumped that thread up...

 

if only this had been discussed before
i guess you are the very first person to EVER have this problem

 

AGAIN with you... do u EVER shutup? NO ONE cares about what you have to say

 

I believe its the back 3...

 

no...you dont care because your feelings got hurt.

you started a new thread like you are the first person with this issue. there are other threads (including the recent one) that discusses this.

 

You are right, i should've done my research, but do u not understand by what I mean that your annoying, all u do is post useless **** like, hey research before you post, or your gonna get banned for saying this. like seriously no moderator hired you to be .org police so you needa chill out

 

BTW, valve covers? My friend who worked on my car told me I needa replace the O rings and intake manifold gasket... is that what a valve cover is? or is that something different?

 

you have been on here for 3 months...you havent had a chance to see all the useful information i have posted during my time here.
ask a legit question and i will give you more info than you would ever need to know.

 

yea but you really should search before you post. trust me ive been told that and have learned 99.9% sooner is right about things so dont challenge him when he flames you because everyone here see's that is easy for us to make you have your panties up in a bunch you need to sitback and learn and maybe you wouldnt get flamed. just my .02

 

the valve covers are the black things your spark plugs went in to.
actually, you dont know what im talking about since you didnt even do the work

 

ok, thanks. and around how much do those cost to be replaced? and is that FOR SURE what the problem is? because my friend told me I need to replace O rings and intake manifold gasket...

 

which o-rings? there are lots of o-rings

the IM gasket has nothing to do with this problem. the IM connects between the valve covers.

Yes that is the problem. whatever retard told you it's the IM "o-rings" needs to be evaluated...

 

but who is dave b??????

 

I believe it's your job to answer that question

 

his number is saved in my cell phone...i dont feel like going upstairs to look

 

Mine too and my cell phone is right by my hand, but I don't feel like searching through my numbers

 

if only there was a place where is was located on here.

i dare someone to start a thread asking for it

 

The O rings im talking about r the ones above the holes the spark plugs go in, basically the thing thats on top of the valves where the spark plugs go, he said they were worn and thats why oil leaked thru...

 

the valve trains (under the covers) gets soaked with oil. the gaskets prevent that oil from getting into the spark plug wells.

 

If you had bother to research at all, you would know the answer to this. Why do you continue to do this? Are you ok?

 

well basically, he figured this out because he was changing my plugs for me, he happened to notice oil all over the plugs, he then said from taking the plugs out the oil seeped thru to the cylinder and when i start my car i will get blue smoke because all the oil has to burn out, didnt really notice that tho.

 

i would start with the valve covers but you may actually have bad rings like me.
i have new valve covers and this was my spark plugs when i changed them last week.

 

Where did you get that piece of paper? What part #? I t0T@llY gota have it!!

my plugs looked exactly like that, now i have brand new ones in, i hope my new ones dont end up like my old ones since the oil leak is obviously still a problem.. so do u think I should change the O rings AND valve covers? whats a way to tell which is the problem?

 

Who's Dave B? Can he order parts? Phone number #?
What exactly do I need to do step-by-step, to get my hands on that pulp?
