My infiniti i 35 03 is burning oil fast. After i Change the oil as soon as it hit 1000 mile after changing it the oil is black and not much is left. Im not sure what's the problem. Help me out thanx.

You are DEFINITELY burning oil somewhere. Are you getting any blue smoke or burning smells coming from under the hood? It sounds like it's getting past the rings and burning up in the combustion chamber(s).

[LUISARIAS2509]

i dont smell any oil or see any blue smoke

[MaximA32]

Interesting. You're not getting any drops on the ground anywhere? The oil doesn't just disappear.

No drop were i park. I just change the oil pan cause I though it was leaking oil but I still have the problem. I'm going to use a 20/50 synthetic oil. Maybe this will help.

check your radiator to see if oil is there mixed with antifreeze
Check your oil to see if it has water in it
If so you may have a blown head gasket

That's where I was going next. Hoping it's not the case. If your oil looks like chocolate milk, that's big trouble.

No oil found on the radiato or outside the motor. No water mix with antifreeze either.

Not water, oil. What color is your oil?

[LUISARIAS2509]

I just change it a week ago it's caramel color.

You need to look IN the radiator not just on the outside of it
When you do, see if there is any oil mixed with water and/or antifreeze

Please do this when the engine is cool or you might get burned and win the Freddy Kruger look alike contest

PLease pull the dipstick on your oil pan inside the engine
Look for water or antifreeze in the oil. As the previous post states, it might look like chocolate milk

I've check the radiato and the engine no mixuter of oil in the radiato and no antifreeze in the engine. but i did change the oil type just to see if it burn faster. im using 20/50. keep you guys posted.
