Default Z Owners, check your oil, post mileage and how far "down" it is...

In another thread, several people have noted that it seems the 370Z burns oil, because after only a 1000 or so miles, their oil is already quite a bit lower than it should be for a car (even new...) - some cars taking a couple quarts to bring it back to normal!

So, this is a thread to see if it's a very widespread issue or not.


Myself, I literally just changed mine and dropped in 5 quarts, and it was just a millimeter or two above the bottom marker. I've got less than a 1/4 mile on it since then

I'll be topping it off and checking every 1K for a while


So, I ask that all of us post our total odometer, number of miles since oil change, and how far off the dipstick reading is from when it was changed (or note factory fill).

Also, if yours is off, post your manufacturing date and serial number - this might help with determining if a specific "run" of 370Z's has an issue.

With enough data on this, we could all go to Nissan and get something done about it.
