| Is burning the 2qt every 4k acurate? If it is that is excessive. The vq's on the 2000 up had a tendency to burn more oil esp. if it is synthteic. |
WHAT, no way. The VQ30DEK burns nothing compared to the VQ35DEK. I've got 80k+ and burn maybe 1-2 ounces of oil every 3k miles. The 3.5 is well known for being an oil burner.

| Your VQ30 should not BURN any oil... The oil burning problems are for the 02 and up VQ35 engines. VQ30DEK(2000-2001 Maximas) are ROCK solid. |
Sorry what i was trying to say is compared to my vg in th e93 my 00 vq burned a little more oil. but my 2002 burned a significantly amount more. I should have stated that the vq30 burn a little more and then the vq35 burns a hell of a lot more. but not 2qt every 4k miles
Back to the question at hand. Like beancooker said that amount in that short amount of miles is a lot.
