3750 interval is for severe driving conditions. 7500 interval would do for normal driving conditions.

I had the same situation with a 335 convert. but that only required off the shelf oil.

I think the word some is an understatement. Listen from 1:20 to the end youll get the picture; I deal with that every day its a joke. This is totally unacceptable in a $40k plus car. My girlfriends $15k Mazda3 doesnt have ANY rattles/taps/noise other than the road. Its such a turn off to the point I probably wont buy another Infiniti especially after dealing with consumer affairs about this, but thats another issue. My point is that for a luxury car, the interior build quality is really below Infiniti's competitors in my experience at least. Newer G's may be different but i'm not satisfied at all with mine other than the way it drives/looks.

Yeah, only the pre-programmed number in the vehicle phone book works. But I usually want to dial a number from my phone's phone book. When the car is moving, I just can't do that. I am always forced to take out my phone, open up the address book, and push the dial button on my phone. Such a pain.
Voice dial number should work. But I don't like to talking to my car.

hit the phone button on your steering wheel, it will pull up the phone menu on your screen, then you can use the steering wheel button that you use to change songs to scroll through the options, find handset phonebook and click in that button to make a selection. Simple

There was some text in the owner's manual about copying the phone's phonebook to the car. Haven't messed with this yet myself, but seems like it would take less clicks to find the right #.

I agree with you Fastlane that is some BS and a dealer should have been able to isolate that rattle. I have a 09, lowered with my shocks set at 90 percent stiffness and I dont rattle at all...Take it to a dealer in CT it sounds like someone dropped a bolt or screw in your dash, or behind your radio. Dude i didn't like the way my transmission sounded and they replaced the whole trans based on noise but they are unwilling to help you with your rattle...If I were you I wouldn't buy another one either going through that.
The leather quality is less than perfect but so was the leather in my 2003 RS6 and it was over 90k new...my only complaint is the clutch engagement by far this has been the hardest car to master...you need to learn how to blip the throttle a bit to make shift smooth and even...

Since I'm on my second G here's my list
2009/G37S Vert now 2012 G37S MT Sedan
Likes: Looks, power, value (my lease is what you can lease a GTI for), nicer navi in the 12. MT is way better, gets rid of all the awkwardness of the auto and oddly enough feels smoother at redline.
Dislikes: Sports seats are terrible. BMW seats are way better. Single blink instead of 3 blink option.

like : kick in your *** power, smile inmy face when doing full throttle, size, not so much electronic control it lets you play a bit before acting. exhaust sound when my window is open. seats are confortable. sound system. keyless entry
dislike : engine sound almost like a diesel sometimes, fuel comsumption, engine sound when window are closed at high rpm. expensive . some plastics feel cheap. some rattles, not so much i must admit. fragile suspension. brakes wear fast (compare to other acura i have owned before). expensive maintenance at steal price by infiniti dealers. interior design. scratch shield paint, because scratch too easiliy
no hate, no like : exterior design.

You must drive a different car.The fit and finish of my S is outstanding.The plastic has a nice textural appeal not found in other upscale cars I've driven.The leather is supple and rich.Tight with no rattles or squeaks.
