M45 4.5L V8

  • Automatic transmission

These V8 engines burn significant oil. Also if left for any time, when starting the engine sounds like a bag of nails (Ugly noise for a few seconds). This is creating engine wear.

Dealer tells us this is normal. Every time we get gas, I check the oil to see if its low and add oil. We've been doing this for years and Infiniti will do nothing to fix a defective engine. There are posts all over the internet about this problem in the 4.5l V-8. This wasn't a cheap car and the company should do something about it.
