Hey guys.
Hey guys I just have a quick question for you all. Im on the 5th gen forum and have an 03 Max. ALOT of us are experiencing oil burning both in the 02 and 03's. So I was wondering if the 04+ VQ is burning as well? Thanks alot.

I have had minor oil burning issues with my 04 Max as follows:
- Before 3,750 miles (first oil change) she burned about 1 Qt.
- Before 7,500 miles (second oil change) she burned a little less than 1 Qt.
- I changed to synthetic motor oil at the second change and the VQ would burn about 1/2 Qt between each oil change (done every 7,500 miles).
- Somewhere about 35 K miles or so, the oil burning declined to about 1/4 Qt between oil changes (still done every 7,500 miles).
- I have burned no oil at all since my last change at 45 K miles, but then I have not taken any long road trips -- which is where I believe most of the oil is consumed in my Max.

Not noticable in the first 22 months with my '04 SL. The lowest I ever saw the dipstick reading was down about a fourth quart just after a long road trip, and right at oil change time (i.e., 3750 miles since it was exactly full). I use dino oil.
My '00 SE is usually down even less than a fourth quart at oil change time. I'm still using dino oil it it.
I wonder what happened with the '02s and '03s? Could too many '02/'03 drivers be racing their Maximas? Or did the 'uppage' in HP with the '03s and '03s enter into this?
